Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the procedures if she has any concerns about children's welfare. She is committed to further professional development and continuous improvement. Since her last inspection, she has completed an early years qualification. Parents speak highly of the childminder and say their children have a positive relationship with her. The childminder monitors children's learning effectively. She attends training to keep up to date with current issues. She uses her knowledge and skills to provide effective learning experiences that have a positive impact on children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches children simple age-appropriate rules that they understand, such as good manners and taking turns. Children form positive relationships with others and behave well. Children develop and extend their physical skills, for example, when they visit the local parks. The childminder successfully identifies and plans for children's next steps in learning. She accurately records children's achievements in detailed observations and assessments. She monitors children's progress, identifies any gaps in their development and provides good support to help them catch up. The childminder promotes children's early literacy and counting well. Children enjoy sharing books with the childminder. They begin to recognise some letters, count what they can see in the pictures and attempt early writing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder cares for children in a welcoming environment. Overall, the childminder works closely with parents to find out about children's routines at home. This helps her to support children to settle well and feel safe and secure. Children learn a range of skills, which help to give them confidence to explore their environment and prepares them well for future learning. For example, children have good opportunities to develop their social skills when playing with other children at local pre-school groups. The childminder supports children to develop good personal care skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children progress well in relation to their starting points and develop the skills needed for school. They are confident and independent learners.
