p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her role in safeguarding children. She is aware of how to identify, record and report concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder is committed to developing her skills and has attended courses to improve her practice. For instance, she attended a course about behaviour management, which helped her to introduce additional ways to encourage children's positive behaviour. She reviews planning and assessments regularly to ensure that activities and experiences meet the needs of children. Through regular evaluation, the childminder sets key goals to improve her practice to help promote the best outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children learn about the roles of people in the community, for example, as they take part in hospital role play activities. The childminder supports their learning by teaching children the names of medical instruments and body parts, supporting their language skills. She reads stories chosen by children, invites their spontaneous comments and questions them effectively to support their early reading skills. The childminder encourages children's early mathematical development by making the most of everyday opportunities to teach children to count and learn about size. The childminder uses local facilities to support children's learning well. For instance, she takes children to playgroups where they learn to share and take turns to support their personal development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to feel secure and confident by, for example, building trusting and warm relationships with them. The childminder encourages children to be motivated to learn by, for instance, providing activities linked to their interests that they enjoy. Children have good awareness of safety. For example, the childminder teaches children not to approach dogs while outdoors and discusses road safety with them to help protect them from harm. They learn how to keep themselves healthy by, for instance, eating well-balanced meals and taking daily physical exercise provided by the childminder.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They enjoy investigating new experiences and readily select activities and resources for themselves, promoting free choice and independence. Children learn valuable skills and develop a good attitude to learning for later use in school.
