p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to meet safeguarding and welfare requirements. She knows what to do should she have a concern about the welfare of a child. The childminder is vigilant in her supervision of children and conducts effective risk assessments to identify potential hazards. She evaluates her practice well and she checks the activities she provides to ensure children make good progress. She identifies weaker areas in children's development and sets clear targets to help them achieve. The childminder keeps up to date with childcare issues. For example, she attends various training workshops and reads relevant literature to improve her practice, enhance her knowledge and improve children's outcomes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder encourages children's learning and development needs well within a welcoming and friendly environment. She has a wide range of resources, indoors and outdoors, that offer a broad range of experiences across most areas of learning. Although the childminder recognises that she could develop children's early writing skills even more, she supports children's spoken language well. For example, as she engages in children's play, she encourages them to talk and share their ideas, and she asks appropriate questions to encourage their speech. When reading to children she encourages them to name, repeat words and talk about the pictures that they see.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form close and secure bonds with the childminder as they settle quickly into her care. She is caring and attentive to their needs and she follows their individual routines from home, which helps to support their emotional well-being. The childminder sensitively guides children's play and she offers lots of meaningful praise and encouragement. She takes the time to offer children appropriate explanations to support their understanding. Children develop their independence in learning many basic skills. For example, the childminder encourages them to select resources from those available and to help tidy up when they have finished. Children develop an understanding of healthy hygiene routines, such as the reasons for cleaning their hands at appropriate times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a good range of skills in preparation for school. For example, they are confident in making their own choices and decisions, and they take interest and engage in the range of activities on offer. Children enjoy exploring electronic toys, pressing the buttons and turning knobs. They watch the flashing lights and listen to the different sounds with anticipation. Children's early mathematical understanding develops well.
