p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has good procedures in place in the event of a concern with a child's welfare. She provides a safe and secure environment where children can move safely around. The childminder regularly reviews children's learning to make sure that they are progressing across all areas of learning. The childminder uses questionnaires to seek the views of the parents about the service she is offering. She takes into account the views of the children, through her observation of what the children enjoy and how she can improve what she is providing for them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses good teaching methods to help children make good progress. For example, she allows children time to finish activities to their satisfaction. She supports children's communication and language well. For example, she talks constantly about what children are doing. Parents comment that their children's vocabulary has increased greatly. Children listen with interest as the childminder reads them a story. They show increasing confidence as they point to the pictures and talk about what they can see. Children thoroughly enjoy painting. For instance, the childminder enables them to mix the different paints and feel the different textures. The childminder completes observations and assessments, including the progress check for two-year-old children. She provides parents with a monthly report about how their children are progressing in the different areas of learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and motivated learners. Their independence is particularly well supported. They are keen to explore the childminder's inclusive environment. They benefit from the childminder actively joining in their play. For example, she talks about the trains to extend their learning. Children benefit from meeting other childminders and their children. They socialise together over lunch and build good relationships. Children behave well and respond positively to the childminder's calm approach.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in all areas of their learning and development. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning or the move to school.
