p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder manages her setting well and she has a clear understanding of her role in safeguarding and promoting children's welfare. She has a good awareness of possible signs and symptoms that may raise cause for concern and implements robust procedures for reporting any welfare concerns. The childminder generally encourages parents to play a role in their children's learning. She regularly shares information about their children's progress and encourages them to share what they know about their children's learning at home. The childminder uses the knowledge and skills that she gains through training to improve her practice and provide better outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a variety of learning experiences, which she effectively tailors to meet children's individual needs. Children show a keen interest when engaging in activities. For example, they enjoy painting, exploring with different technology, and engaging in music and movement sessions. The childminder supports children's communication and language development well. For example, she provides a narrative while children engage in activities together, and introduces new words and repeats phrases to reinforce their understanding. She regularly observes children at play to highlight their learning and makes accurate assessments of their progress. Children are achieving within the typical levels for their age and stages of development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children make effective gains in their personal, social and emotional development. For example, they learn to mix and socialise with others, and they listen and respond well to the childminder's consistent boundaries. The childminder actively promotes children's awareness of diversity. Children are beginning to develop a positive sense of themselves and a mutual respect of others. The childminder promotes children's physical health well. For example, she provides regular opportunities for them to engage in physical activities. She encourages children to develop personal hygiene routines and she provides fresh, balanced meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are gaining the key skills to support their next stages of learning. For example, they learn to assist their own personal needs, make independent choices about their play and communicate their needs effectively.
