Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant are aware of their responsibility to respond to any child protection concerns to help protect children from harm. The childminder promotes children's safety well. She carries out regular risk assessments and teaches children how to keep safe. The childminder regularly reviews her practice and attends training to acquire new skills and further her knowledge. For example, she has made some resources to help support children's literacy and mathematical development. The childminder supports her assistant well in her role, so she is clear about policies and procedures, and meeting children's needs. The childminder has good links with the local schools, which support children's move well. The childminder has good relationships with parents and other childminders, and seeks advice from early years advisors to help her evaluate and improve practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses information gathered from parents and her observations and assessments successfully to plan and provide children with a good range of activities and learning experiences. Children develop very good language skills. For example, the childminder interacts sensitively and she talks to them while they play, using clear language and simple words. Children have fun singing songs and sharing books. The childminder uses illustrations from posters and books to extend vocabulary well. The childminder helps children learn to solve problems. Children enjoy matching shapes and colours and gain skills that prepare them well for future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is warm and friendly. Children settle well and benefit from strong relationships with the childminder and her assistant. Children independently choose from a wide range of resources. They have a strong sense of belonging and understand the childminder's routines. For example, they know when it is time to go outside and when it is time to wash their hands. The childminder promotes a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy healthy snacks, which reflect their dietary needs, and they benefit from daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. The childminder routinely gives children praise and encouragement, helping them develop high confidence and self-esteem. Children learn to respect and celebrate each other's differences through a good range of activities and outings.

p.3
