p.1

This provision is good

n Children enjoy their time with the childminder. She offers them emotional support and cuddles as they arrive and they quickly settle to play. The childminder supports the development of children's emotional well-being effectively. n The childminder is a positive role model for children. For example, she teaches them good manners. Children behave well and clearly demonstrate they feel secure in the childminder's care. n The childminder builds effective partnerships with parents and other settings that children attend. This supports a high level of consistency in children's care and learning. Parents report they are very happy with the care and support the childminder provides for their children. n The childminder provides many stimulating resources for children to support their learning and development. However, these are not always easily accessible so that children can make independent choices in what they play with.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her role in promoting children's well-being. She uses regular risk assessments effectively, for example, to help identify and minimise hazards to children. The childminder knows what procedures to follow if she has any concerns about children's welfare. She keeps her knowledge and skills current, for instance through attending training courses. The childminder effectively uses the skills she develops to support children's learning. For example, after attending training the childminder now confidently teaches children about equal opportunities for all and the diversity of the wider world. This helps children understand about different people and different places.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well. She understands what they like to do and play with. The childminder uses children's interests to engage them effectively in their learning. For instance, children enjoy sharing books and stories. The childminder uses opportunities to develop children's early reading skills, such as by hunting for the letters in their names within the story. The childminder supports children's spoken communication development well. For example, she introduces new words as children play games and clearly explains the meaning of the words. The childminder makes regular, accurate observations of what children can do. She quickly identifies any weaker areas of learning and makes plans to support these areas and close any gaps. For instance, children enjoy exploring real coins and playing shops. The childminder helps children to recognise numbers and supports their developing mathematical skills well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows when to seek additional support for children. They make good progress in their learning from their starting points.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The softly spoken and caring childminder helps children feel safe and form secure attachments. She effectively supports children's self-confidence and self-esteem, for example, through the warm praise and encouragement she gives them. The childminder offers children a range of nutritious meals and snacks. She supports them to learn about healthy diets. For example, when they play games to sort and match foods, she talks to children about which foods are the most nutritious. This supports children's physical development well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and self-motivated as they explore, play and learn. They understand simple rules, such as the importance of keeping the floor clear from toys so they do not trip over. Children learn about the sounds that letters represent and the shape of letters. This supports their early reading and writing skills. Children learn to recognise numbers and count objects accurately as they play, which supports their mathematical skills. Children learn many skills to support them and they are ready to move on to school.
