p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder reviews her service effectively which supports her to identify priorities for improvement. For example, she conducts parents' questionnaires to gain their views about what she could do better. The childminder has made significant progress since her registration to get her provision to good levels. The childminder keeps her knowledge up to date to help improve the quality of teaching and to gain new ideas. For example, she attends training courses and is a member of a childminding forum. The childminder understands the importance of working with other professionals and parents to support children's learning and conducts this aspect of her work well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder successfully ensures that children take part in a range of activities to support their learning. For example, she registered each child at the library so they can choose and borrow their own books. She communicates effectively with children and supports them to acquire new vocabulary and language. For example, by speaking clearly and using songs and repetition. The childminder is skilled at following the children's interests during activities. She skilfully extends activities and consolidates children's learning, such as by reading stories and visiting a farm after learning about animal names and the sounds they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder knows children individually and identifies their interests quickly. The childminder encourages children to behave well and learn daily routines and boundaries to support their self-esteem. For example, by using praise to highlight their achievements. The childminder supports children to be accepting and respectful of others. For example, by encouraging children to be kind, share and take turns. She teaches children about differences in the world around them well. For example, by cooking traditional foods and using pictures of celebrations and books to identify differences between people, such as age, disability and race. Children's care needs are met well and they are encouraged to be independent in their hygiene routines to support their physical well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and self-confident learns who make good progress over time. Children gain physical, listening, communication and early mathematical skills through enjoyable and stimulating activities to support the next stages in their learning, including their move on to school.
