communication and language as she introduces and repeats new words, sounds and phrases. n The childminder has high expectations for children's learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector had a tour of the areas of the home used for the childminding provision. n The inspector spoke to the childminder and the children at appropriate times throughout the inspection. The inspector took into account the written views and comments of parents. n The inspector observed the children at play in both the indoor and the outdoor environments and assessed the impact of the teaching on their learning. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including suitability and recruitment records, children's developmental records, policies and procedures, and risk assessments. n The inspector spoke to the childminder about her use of evaluation, her current areas for improvement and how she plans for her continuous professional development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is vigilant in how she would protect the children in her care. A recent update has helped her to remain highly knowledgeable in how she would identify potential signs of abuse and the procedures she would use to report any concerns. The childminder has worked well towards the recommendation from her last inspection in regards to gathering much more information from parents about what children can and cannot do when they first start with her. The childminder precisely plans for her own professional development. For instance, a course on neuroscience has encouraged her to plan more-challenging experiences and opportunities for children. The childminder has a high regard for her legal responsibilities. She has followed robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of her new assistant who is joining her setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children's learning well and is skillful at following their changing requirements and characteristics. She helps children to build on their early mathematical awareness in their play by encouraging them to count items and objects. Children listen and follow instructions, and enjoy playing boards games together. They understand to wait for their turn and younger children are showing an increase in their concentration skills. Children are imaginative and creative. They enjoying making up stories together and playing different characters, using their memory and recall skills. The childminder supports children's well-being and helps them to learn to work together. For example, children take part in meaningful yoga sessions where they learn breathing techniques and use 'glitter tubes' to help them to become more mindful and in control of their emotions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and show a growing awareness of boundaries and the childminder's expectations for their behaviour. Younger children follow the role modelling of older children and they are learning to empathise and be kind and respectful under the guidance of the childminder. Children are encouraged to use good manners at all times and to build important social and interpersonal skills. For example, they each have a 'special keyring' that displays important family members and this helps children to build on their growing sense of their own identity and self-awareness. Children venture on many outings to help them to build a strong sense of community and an understanding of the wider world, and the differences and similarities in people around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and enthralled learners. They are independent in making their own choices in their play and in building on their own self-care skills, such as dressing themselves and to make healthy eating choices. Children have many opportunities to be physically active and to manage risk in their play. For instance, they use their spatial awareness and estimation skills as they balance on large-scale equipment at the park. Children are developing the necessary skills they require for the next stages in their learning.
