p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She reads childcare publications, attends training and seeks support from the local authority to identify areas that she can develop and will have a positive impact on the children. The childminder tracks children's progress and this enables her to identify and close any learning gaps quickly. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to keep children safe. She attends training and is confident in procedures to address any concerns about children's welfare. The childminder evaluates her practice effectively and includes parents and children in the process. She has made changes in her home to give children greater independence when using the toilet, which has had a positive impact on all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder obtains detailed information from parents before children start. This enables her to plan activities that follow their interests and abilities. She has high expectations of the children and challenges their learning and thinking through good questioning. She encourages younger children to develop their sensory skills. For example, they touch, feel and listen to different objects as they explore their surroundings. The childminder helps children to learn about others; they look at family picture books and talk about differences. This helps children to value and respect others. The childminder supports children who speak English as an additional language well. She displays key words in all languages and has learned some words in home languages. The children have clear routines and learn about good hygiene procedures from a young age.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident. Children new to the setting are settled and happily explore the environment and use resources to develop new skills. For example, they push, pull and turn buttons on the walker. They listen carefully to the sound and use their feet to move themselves around. The childminder builds strong bonds with the children, who happily involve her in their play. Children behave well, listen carefully and follow instructions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They develop physical skills and learn about colours, shapes and numbers as they complete age-appropriate puzzles, and enjoy making and counting shapes made with play dough. Children are enthusiastic learners who respond well to the childminder's interaction and discussions. They are ready for their next stage in learning because of the good teaching and encouragement the childminder provides.
