Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have improved their understanding and knowledge of safeguarding and the 'Prevent' duty since the last inspection. They have a good knowledge of the different types of abuse and know how to report any concerns if they suspect a child is at risk of harm. The childminder takes effective steps to assess all areas of her home and the outdoor play area and effectively minimises potential hazards. The childminder and assistant are reflective practitioners and evaluate their practice, considering the needs of themselves, children and parents. An effective key-person system is in place. This is regularly reviewed and parents are kept informed of any changes. The childminder supports her assistant in a positive way and completes regular supervisions and encourages them to complete training. This has a positive impact on outcomes for children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant have a kind and caring approach. They encourage children to lead their own play and interact purposefully with them during activities. Children are creative and use their imaginations well. For example, they are excited to explore the new karaoke machine and children of all ages sing into it enthusiastically. The childminder extends children's speaking skills effectively. She talks to them about what they are doing, asks questions and repeats new words for younger children. For example, as the children pretend to make dinner for the visitor, they are asked what they are making. Children are given plenty of time to reply and explain it is a 'burger and bun'. The childminder closely monitors and tracks children's individual progress. This enables her to highlight any gaps in their development promptly and provide children with good support to help close them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from close and supportive relationships with the childminder and her assistant who know the children well. Relationships between adults and children are good and they seek and enjoy cuddles and affection. Children rest and sleep in line with their routines and enjoy a variety of freshly cooked meals and snacks during the day. The childminder teaches children to be independent and to manage age-appropriate tasks for themselves. For example, children help to set the table for lunch and proudly show the mats they have made. The childminder successfully supports children's physical skills. For example, children have free access to the very well-resourced outdoor area. Children are very busy. They play in the water and pour the water into containers. Others carry the balls to the drain pipe and get very excited as they roll down. As they successfully direct them down, they receive lots of praise from the childminder, raising

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those who receive funding, make good progress in their development from the start and gain skills to support their readiness for future learning. Children form good relationships with the childminder, her assistant and each other. Children's early writing skills are emerging as they make marks with pencils and crayons.
