p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to promote children's well-being and ensure their safety. She can recognise potential signs and symptoms of abuse. The childminder is confident in the action to take if she has concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder keeps policies up to date, particularly with regard to local child protection procedures. She liaises each term with her improvement officer. This helps to keep her informed about developments in early years practice. The childminder has developed good partnerships with other providers. She exchanges information about children's learning when children attend other settings and on a daily basis with parents. This helps her to complement learning taking place elsewhere and improve outcomes for children. Self-evaluation is thorough and the childminder has thoughtfully reflected on her practice. She identifies the environment as a

key area that she wants to improve to enhance the quality of provision even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder demonstrates many aspects of good teaching and her interactions with children are fun. She watches and listens carefully as children play. She commentates on what they are doing, modelling language and developing vocabulary. This helps children to understand their achievements, encourages them and effectively promotes their self- esteem and confidence. The childminder uses her observations of children's play and learning to make accurate assessments of their progress. Even when children are in the setting infrequently, the childminder can see and identify their progress towards expected goals. This helps her to plan activities and experiences which are well matched to their current stage of development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a caring and supportive environment. Children show that they feel safe and secure in her care. They regularly check in for cuddles and hugs and it is clear that they have developed good attachments with her. The childminder uses praise and encouragement effectively. She highlights what children have done well, including sharing and taking turns with their friends. Children are developing their physical skills. They enjoy riding wheeled toys, negotiating space and avoiding obstacles. Children use a range of tools and equipment with increasing control and coordination. They manage their toileting needs and hygiene practices with close support from the childminder.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress and the childminder is preparing them well for future learning. For example, they understand routines and boundaries and demonstrate friendly behaviour. Children are developing early reading skills. They handle books carefully. They turn the pages and excitedly anticipate and join in with repeated phrases. Children enjoy making choices and know that their opinions count. They have good imaginative skills and use a wide range of props and resources to support their role play.
