p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder knows what procedures to follow if she has concerns about the welfare or development of a child in her care. A range of policies and procedures, and regular risk assessments, underpin the childminder's good practice. This helps keep children safe in the setting and on outings. The childminder uses her accurate assessments of children's progress to highlight and address their individual support and learning needs. The childminder is highly reflective and evaluative. She actively seeks feedback from parents and children to help her plan for development and further improve outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is good. The childminder understands child development and the different ways children learn. She plans activities which cover all the areas of learning, promote children's interests and help them to meet their next steps. Children enthusiastically and excitedly access resources which are well organised and attractively presented. This encourages children to investigate, explore, make choices and lead their own learning. The childminder promotes communication and language very well. She sits with children as they play engaging them in conversations and asking a range of questions to encourage verbal responses. For example, the childminder encourages children to describe their creations as they shape dough in their role play kitchen. Furthermore, while doing this, the childminder skilfully promotes children's home language alongside English. This helps broaden their vocabulary and understanding of the world around them. Children

thoroughly enjoy singing and dancing. The childminder uses this to engage children, singing rhymes and songs which extend their understanding of the alphabet, numbers and counting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works well and flexibly with parents when children start in the setting. Parents share information about their children's care needs and routines, likes and dislikes. The childminder uses this to help children settle and support their emotional well-being and sense of security. The childminder is vigilant as children play and reminds them how to stay safe as they move around the setting. She gives children praise and reassurance, encouraging them to develop resilience and self-belief. The childminder seeks opportunities in the local area to promote children's understanding of and pride in their community. She ensures that they have regular fresh air and exercise, and eat balanced, nutritious meals. This helps children understand how to make healthy lifestyle choices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in all areas of their learning and development. They become motivated learners who enjoy a wide range of experiences, inside and outdoors. Children learn to understand and follow rules and routines, the importance of hygiene and how to take care of their personal needs. They are well supported to gain a wide range of skills for their future learning and in readiness for their move on to school.
