p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is knowledgeable about child protection and safeguarding legislation. She has a secure understanding of the signs and symptoms of possible abuse. In addition, she knows safeguarding procedures to follow, including those should an allegation be made against her or a family member. The childminder supervises children at all times and ensures adult-to-child ratios are maintained. The childminder knows how to identify and minimise risks to children, both on and off the premises. This helps to keep children safe. She makes use of information and training from the local authority and other organisations to improve her practice. The childminder completes the required progress check of children's development between the ages of two and three years. Parents are very complimentary about the childminder's care. They believe their children are safe, secure and developing well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder tracks children's progress regularly to monitor their achievements and identify any gaps in their learning and skills. She plans successful interventions to help children catch up quickly. Children demonstrate good listening and attention, overall, as they share books together. Young children accurately name the majority of the illustrations in their favourite books. The childminder uses these opportunities well to introduce new vocabulary which the young children confidently repeat. The childminder uses her voice, tone and facial expressions to skilfully interact with babies as they babble. They hold long conversations with the childminder, interspersed with increasing recognisable words. The childminder supports children's early writing and drawing skills. She provides resources for them to explore. Children make vertical marks with control and the childminder narrates and praises them for what they have achieved.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a welcoming and homely environment. Children make independent choices and explore the available resources and experiences. This helps children to become involved and motivated in their play. The childminder sets expectations of behaviour that the children follow. They are calm and well behaved. Older children play cooperatively while accommodating and including the younger children. The childminder teaches children a range of skills to help them learn about the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle. For example, she encourages children to wash their hands before eating the healthy food and snacks she provides. The childminder makes good use of local groups. These help children learn about diversity in the local community and wider world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident, motivated and keen to learn. They make good progress from their starting points and are working securely within the stage of development expected for their age. Young children play imaginatively and act out familiar experiences. They demonstrate strong hand control and coordination. Children join in singing familiar songs and perform the actions with confidence and good recall. Children develop the skills and attitudes to learning that they need for their eventual move to nursery or school.
