p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the correct reporting procedures if she is concerned about children's welfare. She increases her knowledge of child protection by completing training to update her on latest changes within the early years guidance. The childminder promotes children's safety and welfare effectively. For example, she ensures that her home is safe for children to enjoy learning and play. The childminder conducts regular risk assessments and supervises children at all times. She has a sound understanding of her strengths and areas of development to improve her provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows how to promote children's play effectively and how to help them achieve. She provides a wide variety of enjoyable learning experiences for them. Children show good motivation in their learning and are able to spend a long time concentrating in activities. For example, children enjoy building with bricks, which helps to develop their physical skills. The childminder supports children's communication and language development. For example, she talks to children about what is happening during activities and encourages them to join in with singing rhymes. Children are keen to participate in the enjoyable activities, such as role play where they enjoy preparing food for themselves and the childminder. The childminder observes children closely and assesses their development. She identifies effective next steps in their learning and plans activities to encourage their good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy. The childminder gathers detailed information from parents about children's care needs and meets these well. Effective settling-in procedures help children to form strong attachments with the childminder. The childminder manages children's behaviour well. For example, she talks calmly and sensitively with children and helps them to understand how their actions affect others. The childminder's home is well organised. This boosts children's confidence as well as helping them to develop their independence, for instance, by being easily able to choose toys for themselves. Children enjoy a range of outdoor activities to develop their physical skills. Their health and well-being are further promoted through daily access to a varied range of nutritious snacks and meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They learn skills they need for their future learning and development. Children enjoy their time with the childminder. They become active and confident independent learners as they make choices about their play.
