p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder effectively monitors children's progress. For example, she completes regular observations and written summaries of children's development to assess their learning. This helps her to quickly identify any gaps in learning and provide the appropriate support. The childminder attends training, which helps to keep her knowledge up to date and improve outcomes for children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her responsibilities to safeguard children. She effectively checks her home for hazards and minimises risks to ensure children play in safe environments. The childminder teaches children how to stay safe. For example, children learn how to cross roads safely. The childminder promotes positive partnerships with other professionals to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She encourages children to make choices from a variety of resources and extend their own play. For example, during the inspection, children were keen to express their ideas and access additional toys to build on their play. The childminder effectively promotes children's language in various ways. For example, she talks to them as she joins their play and models language. This helps children to extend their developing vocabulary. Children enjoy listening to stories with the childminder. They point to pictures and repeat key words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder obtains useful information from parents to help children settle and feel safe in her care. She celebrates children's efforts and achievements, which helps boost their confidence and self-esteem. Children behave well. The childminder helps them to understand the importance of using good manners and being kind to others. Children benefit from regular outdoor experiences. For example, they visit different places in the local community. Children learn about diversity and the wider world. For example, they take part in activities to learn about people and communities beyond their own experiences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning from their starting points. They gain the required skills for their next stage in learning and move to school. For example, children are independent, manage their personal needs, listen and concentrate during activities. Children develop early mathematical skills. For example, they learn to match colours, count and compare sizes.
