p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare or development. She makes sure that her child protection knowledge is current and takes action to minimise hazards in the setting. This helps to ensure that children play in a safe and secure environment. The childminder uses her observations of children to make accurate assessments of their attainment. Tracking children's progress helps her to highlight and plan for gaps in their learning. Children are well supported to learn about their community and go on many outings in the local area.

The childminder follows children's interests and helps them achieve their next steps in learning. She encourages children to try new activities, persevere when faced with challenges and express themselves verbally. The childminder engages children in conversations, using a range of words to widen their vocabularies, and helps them to think for themselves. The childminder supports children to develop a love of books and a desire to read. A range of good quality fiction and non-fiction books is provided and children access these with enthusiasm. They look closely at the pictures, listening intently as the childminder reads and points to the words. Children help by turning pages, lifting flaps and sliding doors, showing sheer delight as they reveal animals, objects and numbers. The childminder takes every opportunity to help children count as they read and while they play. She shares children's achievements with parents and encourages them to promote

p.3

The childminder provides an attractively presented range of resources, toys and equipment, inside and outdoors. This is well organised, easily accessible, covers all areas of learning and is developmentally appropriate. The childminder works with parents when children start in the setting, reflecting children's care routines at home to help them settle quickly. She is very understanding of family needs and is flexible in her practice to meet these, which parents value highly. The childminder provides nutritious and balanced meals and snacks to meet children's dietary needs. She makes sure that children have regular fresh air and exercise and learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy. The childminder helps children to develop self-belief and confidence. Children respond well to her praise and encouragement and go to her for help and comfort when they need it.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They learn to consider the needs of others, share and take turns. Children are effectively prepared to move on to the next stage in their learning. They are well supported to be less reliant on adults and do things for themselves. Children understand and follow rules and routines, are polite and considerate to others. These skills will help them cope well in school.
