This provision is good

n The childminder has made improvements to address the actions from her last inspection. She has put in place effective support for her assistant to develop their understanding of safeguarding. n The childminder's teaching is effective. She asks lots of open questions and gives children time to think when answering. The childminder explains the correct answer if required and later asks the question again. Children learn new things quickly and make good progress. n Children's personal, social and emotional skills are developing well. They play alongside each other nicely. They share toys with each other and are learning to take turns with the childminder's support. Children are confident. For example, they say, 'Bye,' to unfamiliar parents and children as they leave the local park. n The childminder has built warm bonds with the children.

n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities, both indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as children's development records and daily diaries, policies and planning sheets. n The inspector held discussions with the childminder regarding her knowledge of safeguarding, children's progress and how she reviews her practice. n The inspector read parents' comments recorded in children's daily diaries and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the signs that suggest a concern about a child's welfare. She is clear on the procedures to follow should she identify any concerns. The childminder supervises children closely. She reminds them of risks and is on hand when needed to keep children safe. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder provides a safe environment with a wide range of accessible resources. She plans activities that support children's development in all relevant areas of learning. The childminder provides parents with regular updates about activities provided and their children's progress. Parents are happy with the progress their children make in the childminder's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children and speaks to parents to make accurate assessments of children's development. She uses this information to target teaching in areas that children need most support. The childminder helps children to make good progress in their communication and language skills. She talks about children's actions to help their understanding. For example, she says, 'Choo-choo, here comes the train,' as children push a toy train. The childminder introduces new words to children, such as 'elephant'. She repeats the correct pronunciation when children have a go at saying words for the first time. The childminder extends children's knowledge from their interests well. She tells part of 'The Three Little Pigs' story when a child knocks down a house they have built with blocks. Children act out the story later using the playhouse outside, pretending to blow the house down.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's emotional stability and understanding of the rules well. She gives children lots of praise when they follow the rules such as holding hands when walking to the park. The childminder explains what is happening next to help children understand routines. Children behave and follow instructions and routines well. The childminder provides opportunities for children to develop good physical skills and manage their own safety. Children climb high up ladders confidently at the local park. The childminder stays close by reminding children to ask if they need help. Children ask her when they need support to get down, keeping themselves safe. The childminder teaches children to lead healthy lifestyles. She explains the benefits of drinking lots of water and provides children with healthy food.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are at a typical stage of development for their age. They make good progress from their starting points. Children are developing the skills they need for their next stage in learning. They are becoming effective learners. Children are able to recall the actions for the 'wipers on the bus' and finish choruses when singing songs. They smile widely when the childminder says they have done well. Children are starting to manage their own self-care needs. They wipe their own noses and put the tissues in the bin.
