p.1

This provision is good

n The childminder and her assistant work well together, review their practice and maintain good communication with parents in most respects. The childminder discusses new legislation with her assistant to check any training needs. The assessments of children's achievement are not fully communicated to parents and other settings that the children attend. n The teaching promotes children's language development well. The children listen carefully to their carers and are listened to in their turn. While children play together and share a range of resources, there are insufficient resources to help them learn about people in the wider world. n The childminder and her assistant promote consistently good behaviour through their use of praise. The children are given gentle reminders to help and include their younger playmates. n Children make good progress and develop the skills they need to be ready for school.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have a good knowledge and understanding of what to do should they be concerned about a child's welfare. The children are encouraged to take appropriate risks, such as younger children climbing, running and jumping. The childminder evaluates her provision and seeks the the views of parents these are sought using text messages and through discussions at the start and end of the day. Practice is also reviewed and improved by checking online sites that provider information for childminders. The childminder ensures that her assistant's knowledge is kept up to date through discussion. The childminder and her assistant model positive communication and respect, maintaining a collaborative relationship with each other and with all the children in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant understand child development and regularly discuss ways to promote the learning and development of the young children in their care. For example, the childminder developed children's early mathematical and scientific concepts by using words and phrases such as 'more' and 'as big as'; and she pointed out that the children could see through translucent objects. All children have a settling-in period in which parents are consulted and involved and this supports the children to settle well. Overall, partnerships with parents are strong due to frequent communications about each individual child's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The children move confidently from indoors to the garden. They access a range of resources and take part in a wide range of activities. These include playing with bubbles, riding tricycles and push-along cars, reading, drawing, playing with construction toys, resting in a 'bouncy chair', singing along to music and playing with toy cars. This supports the children's all-round development. The children were actively engaged in learning, even when having a rest with a drink after running outside. Resources such as paper, mark-making equipment, building blocks and games are arranged so that the children can access them freely, which helps to support and promote their growing independence.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress at the setting. The childminder and her assistant take account of children's preferences to provide a child-led curriculum. The children learn skills such as how to put on and begin to fasten their own coats. They learn to keep their personal belongings neatly together to prevent them from becoming lost. The childminder and her assistant make sure that children are able to recognise and begin to write their names before starting primary school. Children have opportunities to learn how to cut with children's scissors and to make marks with a variety of tools.
