Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify any concerns that may affect a child's welfare. She knows how to follow procedures correctly in order to report any welfare issues. She carries out thorough risk assessments to help her to identify and remove any dangers to children. The childminder closely monitors children's development to effectively identify and close any emerging gaps in their learning. The childminder has met the recommendations from the previous inspection. She continues to develop her practice and skills, such as through research and training. Additionally, she reviews and updates her practice well to drive improvement, in order to meet the needs of the children and develop her quality of teaching.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder offers children a wide variety of interesting and exciting learning opportunities. For example, young babies enjoy sticking and gluing different shape stickers and make patterns, effectively using their imaginations and creative skills. The childminder promotes children's early reading skills well. For example, children enjoy listening to stories; they begin to understand how to lift the flaps and learn to turn the pages. Babies happily play with other children and learn to express their ideas. For example, they share construction resources and giggle as they watch the building blocks fall over. Children develop good hand-to-eye coordination skills, for example, young children enjoy puzzle activities and learn to problem solve from an early age.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder carefully plans activities and resources which best suit children's individual needs. She provides a rich and stimulating learning environment. Children independently choose the activities and are always busy and occupied. Children learn about safety. For example, the childminder implements good daily routines where she encourages young children to tidy up after play. The childminder effectively promotes children's awareness of the differences and similarities between themselves and others in the community. For example, children enjoy visiting local childminding groups, and they learn to adopt respectful, positive attitudes towards others, in preparation for school. The childminder helps children to adopt healthy lifestyles to promote their good health. She tends to their daily personal care needs well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are good communicators; they express their needs clearly and develop good relationships with the childminder and one another. Babies and young children are very settled, happy and secure. For example, they learn to play games together and develop good personal, social and emotional skills to support their next stages in learning.
