n The childminder has built good relationships with the children and knows them well. This helps the childminder to plan for children's individual needs and interests. n The childminder has addressed the recommendations from the previous inspection. For example, children work in smaller groups, according to their age. n Good processes are in place to monitor children's learning and progression, which are now tracked termly. n The childminder has good relationships with the parents and shares information with them on a daily basis. n Children are provided with nutritious meals and snacks to promote healthy lifestyles. n Teaching is of good quality. However, children have limited opportunities to access resources to further develop their understanding of the world. For example, older children do not consistently access opportunities to develop information and communications technology (ICT) skills. n Although the younger children benefit from the activities provided, the older children's

learning is not consistently challenged and the childminder misses opportunities to extend their learning further. For example, the water-play activity did not provide for differentiation for the older children. This resulted in them becoming disengaged and missed opportunities to develop their learning. n The childminder does not consistently provide learning opportunities that are challenging and varied in order to motivate the older children to learn. n The childminder does not consider planning activities across all areas of learning to include ICT, to enhance children's understanding of the world.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection and the procedure to report any concerns to the local authority. She has attended safeguarding training and has an up-to-date paediatric first-aid certificate. Children are well supervised and are confident within the childminding environment as they access the resources independently. The childminder has a well-established routine that the children are familiar with as they understand what comes next, such as washing their hands before and after their snack.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The assessment of children's learning is effective as the childminder provides each child with a special book and records observations of their development. The childminder tracks children's learning and completes assessment reports which are shared with parents, who contribute to their child's next steps for learning. Parents complete an 'All about me book' and induction booklets when their child first attends the childminder's home during the settling-in period.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The children are well behaved and the childminder uses positive terminology and appropriate techniques to help children become confident learners and build relationships with their peers. This helps them to develop their self-esteem. Children develop physical skills as they have the opportunity to access resources, such as mark- making tools. This helps children to develop their fine-motor skills. The children access healthy snacks and a varied lunch menu is provided.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. The younger children access first-hand learning experiences such as planting and watering vegetables and splashing in puddles. This excites the younger children who are very keen and interested to engage in activities. Children enjoy song time and they take part in action rhymes. This helps to develop their speech and language skills.
