p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Following her last inspection, the childminder has been on training and sought good advice on how to make greater use of her observations. She tracks children's development effectively to identify learning gaps quickly and help children to catch up. The childminder provides good opportunities for children learning English as an additional language to continue to use their home language. For example, they use dual-language books and songs, and she displays words from their home languages. The childminder is confident in her knowledge of procedures she should follow, should have child be at risk of harm. She carries out good risk assessments and takes appropriate action to minimise accidents. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children's interests and extends their learning. For example, she notices a young child putting strings of beads in and out of a pot and she provides a range of different containers. The childminder helps children to identify problems and ways to solve them. For example, when the hole in the watering can is too small for a pump, they use a tray instead. The childminder demonstrates how to use equipment and gives children plenty of time to practise for themselves. The children have great fun when the childminder joins in with their games. For example, they squeal with delight, playing hide and seek. She introduces words such as 'under' and 'over' and helps with children's counting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder ensures children have a safe and healthy lifestyle. She supports their good hygiene practices well. For example, children blow their nose, dispose of the tissue and wash their hands. Children have plenty to drink and nutritious meals, which supports their awareness of healthy eating. Young children sleep safely in a cot room. The childminder uses a monitor and checks the sleeping children regularly. She meets their physical and emotional needs well, ensuring they have clean sheets and their special toy or dummy. She organises resources effectively with clear labelling so that children can make independent choices and lead their learning. For example, an older child uses a magnetic board to draw. They see the marks they make and learn how to remove them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and are well-prepared for school. For example, they move around with confidence and make good progress in their physical development. They are strong communicators and have positive relationships and good social skills. Children persevere and are proud of their achievements. Children learn about the wider world and gain a positive attitude to people's differences.
