p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a very good understanding of safeguarding procedures and what to do if any issues arise. She is vigilant in her supervision of children and conducts effective risk assessments to help her identify potential hazards. The childminder monitors her practice. She supervises her assistants well to ensure their work is consistently effective and identifies relevant training to support them. The childminder regularly reviews children's progress with their parents and staff at other early years settings that children attend. She effectively identifies and closes any gaps in children's learning. Parents speak highly of the childminder, stating that they are very happy with the learning and care their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The experienced and qualified childminder promotes children's learning effectively. She uses good teaching skills to extend children's learning through their daily activities and routines. For example, she introduces new words and models them for children to learn. This effectively extends children's emerging language skills. The childminder encourages children's play and exploration by providing interesting activities and resources. For example, she recognised children's interest in stories and nursery rhymes and used this interest to teach the sounds of letters, colours and numbers. These opportunities prepare children well for their future learning and moving on to school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's independence well. For example, she stores toys at low level to encourage children to freely choose what they want to play with. Furthermore, children help to tidy up and put on their own aprons and shoes. The childminder uses clear and consistent methods to manage children's behaviour. Children are well behaved. The childminder encourages children to be attentive, to follow instructions and share. Children develop a positive outlook with regard to being healthy. For example, they benefit from nutritional foods and have regular play opportunities outdoors to develop their physical health and well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning because the childminder uses effective assessment systems to plan for their next steps in learning. Children develop new skills, enjoy doing things for themselves and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and for school.
