Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is familiar with signs and symptoms that may give concerns about a child's welfare and has a good knowledge of procedures to follow to protect children from harm. She keeps her home safe by checking all areas daily to help prevent accidents. The childminder keeps her skills and knowledge up to date, for example, by carrying out research over the internet on early years matters. She has also attended refresher courses on early years practice which led to a greater understanding of framework requirements. The childminder monitors her work well, including planning and assessment to detect and remedy any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's creative development well. For instance, she provides good opportunities for children to experience different textures and materials and to use these to create their own artwork. She teaches children good early literacy skills, for example, by teaching children to recognise their names. The childminder also reads lots of stories to children and encourages them to make spontaneous comments about the story. Children learn to share and take turns as they play with toys.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

She helps children to feel secure and motivated to learn, for example, by finding out about children's interests and reflecting these well in activities provided. Children are confident. The childminder praises children for their efforts and ensures that her interaction with them is warm and positive. Children are independent. For example, they help to prepare snacks and learn how to dress themselves. The childminder teaches children how to behave in safe ways. For instance, she teaches them about the dangers of climbing on furniture and also about road safety. The childminder teaches children healthy daily routines. For example, she provides nutritious meals and snacks, and takes children outdoors each day for fresh air and physical challenges. They practise a range of physical skills outdoors each day, including running and jumping, and learn to kick, throw and
