p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder effectively reflects and evaluates on her provision to provide continuous positive experiences for children and their parents. She effectively works with parents to support their children's learning and development. For example, she welcomes information at the start of the placement to identify individual children's interests and needs. She also shares with parents their children's ongoing assessment, to highlight their progress and to address promptly any gaps, to move children on at a faster pace. The childminder implements robust and effective policies and procedures to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of her provision. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of her role to protect children. She has a good knowledge of child protection issues and the procedures to report such concerns to relevant authorities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's learning and development well. For example, she knows when to join in and interact with children during their play, and when to allow them to explore on their own, so they learn through trial and error. The childminder makes effective use of different opportunities to develop children's communication and language skills. For example, she provides commentary while young children play and encourages them to repeat words to extend their vocabulary. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to enjoy being creative and to develop their understanding of the world. For example, they learn about nature, and help to plant and water the fruits.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle well in the childminder's care. They are familiar with the environment and know where to find resources of interest to them. The childminder provides age- appropriate activities for children to explore. For example, children have plenty of options, where they learn to make their own decisions about their play. The childminder supports positive behaviour well. For example, she acts as good role model to children and uses positive words, such as 'please' and 'thank you'. Children listen well and show respect to the childminder. They develop good health and physical skills. For example, the childminder provides healthy foods and encourages regular exercise, such as rigorous play at the local park and children's centre.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and active. They play freely and develop essential skills crucial to their next stage of development. For example, babies develop good mobility and physical coordination. They learn to express their needs well, such as through words, body language and emotions. They listen to others and respond well to instructions.
