p.1

This provision is good

n The childminder works effectively in partnership with other early years providers that children attend by sharing information about children's ongoing development. This promotes continuity of care and learning and complements learning in school. n The childminder consistently looks at ways of enhancing her professional development. She seeks out training, reads early years material and involves herself in community development for funded children. n The childminder provides a welcoming and stimulating environment for children. Children move around freely and choose toys from a good selection available to them. This promotes choice and independent learning. Children make good progress. n Children learn how to manage their feelings and behaviour. Toddlers respond to a few appropriate boundaries and routines, while pre-school children learn to share and take turns. n Children have warm, caring and trusting relationships with the childminder. They show

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The qualified and experienced childminder has created a welcoming and stimulating setting. She reviews her provision regularly to ensure she meets all children's needs effectively. She seeks feedback from parents and children to help her identify what she does well and where she can improve her service further. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder implements a range of policies and procedures to protect children. She is aware of who to contact should she have any concerns regarding a child's welfare. The childminder works effectively in partnership with parents to support children's care and learning. She gathers useful information about children when they join her provision, to help her cater for their routines and plan for their good progress right from the start.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses her observations and assessments of children to identify their next stage of development. She uses this information, in addition to children's interests, to plan for their individual needs. Children delight in exploring dried pasta. They swish it around in a tray and listen to the sound it makes. The childminder provides a selection of containers that children use to learn about quantity and capacity. Children move the pasta between containers using good coordination skills, and talk about cups being 'full' and 'empty'. The childminder encourages children to persist at a task as they attempt to put blocks together to build. She constantly talks with children about what she and they are doing to help develop children's understanding of language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's understanding of how to lead healthy lifestyles well, overall. She provides a range of nutritious meals and snacks, and children are encouraged to drink water regularly to keep them hydrated. Children enjoy regular outdoor activities in the garden or local parks. They develop physical skills as they climb, run and jump. Children become increasingly independent. They make choices about the fruit they wish to eat and are given time to peel and cut it. Children learn how tools can be used as they discover how to use an apple corer. The childminder works closely with parents to support children's toilet training and prepare them for nursery. Children's independence is further supported as they are encouraged to complete small tasks such as tidying away resources.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children acquire the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to prepare them well for starting school. They develop early skills in literacy and mathematics, such as making marks and counting. They develop concentration skills and learn to solve problems as they complete large jigsaw puzzles or put train track pieces together. They sing their favourite songs together and enjoy age-appropriate books.
