This provision is good

n The childminder provides a good range of experiences to support children's literacy skills. Children practise making marks, enjoy listening to stories and look at books independently. Older children are lively and enthusiastic as they act out favourite stories in the garden involving children and adults giving clear and precise instructions. n The childminder gets to know children well and forms affectionate relationships with them. Children settle quickly and are happy and relaxed in her home. They develop good levels of independence and show pride in managing tasks such as preparing snacks for themselves and putting on their own coats and shoes for outdoor play. n The childminder establishes positive relationships with parents. For example, she shares information about children's achievements daily and parents regularly add to children's learning records. Parents comment that: 'The childminder looks out for the

children and champions their individuality.' n All children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder finds out what children can already do when they first start and plans effectively to build on their development. She provides good support for children's key areas of learning, which prepares them well for their next steps. n Sometimes the childminder misses opportunities during children's play to extend and build on their investigation skills. n The childminder does not make the most effective use of self-evaluation to help identify ongoing priorities and plan to help raise the quality of the provision even further.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder promotes children's safety and well-being well, and provides clear rules and guidance in their play. She has a good knowledge of child protection issues and understands her responsibilities to report any concerns. The childminder attends training to enhance her skills, the quality of teaching and to keep up to date with practice. For example, Schema training has emphasised and strengthened how she supports children's different learning styles. The childminder reviews her policies and has a good knowledge of changes to data protection procedures. The childminder monitors and reviews children's progress well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is enthusiastic and has a good understanding of how children learn. She interacts well at the children's level and supports their increasing vocabulary. For example, she uses a commentary, repeats words and builds upon their sentence structure. The childminder introduces mathematical concepts well to the children's play and they begin to match colours, recognise different sizes and become familiar with early numbers. The childminder uses her planning effectively to engage the children. For example, they enjoy books, and explore their world with paints and colour mixing. They show increasing concentration during the activities and an enthusiasm for learning. For instance, they recognise and point to letters within their names.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children engage in physical exercise and fresh air to support their health and well-being well. For example, they enjoy moving in different ways within the garden as they engage in a parachute game, go on walks, and visit parks and places of interest with the childminder. Children participate in good hygiene practices. For instance, they wash their hands with good support and guidance. Children recognise when they are thirsty and access their own drinking container. The childminder supports children's increasing awareness of potential hazards. For example, she explains the consequences of their actions and has clear rules for safe behaviour on outings.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for their next stage of learning and school. They speak confidently and interact well with each other. Children behave well and develop effective social skills. They are motivated to learn and have inquisitive minds. Older children have good opportunities to practise their early writing skills and become independent in their self-care. Children make choices from a wide range of resources. They enjoy stories, and use books to count and understand sizes.
