Children make good progress from their starting points.  The childminder monitors and tracks children's development well.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her responsibilities in protecting the children such as reporting concerns about their welfare. She rigorously monitors the environment and ensures that children are safe. The childminder continually reflects on her performance and maintains good outcomes for children. For example, she talks confidently about how training has helped her to adapt activities to reflect on children's individual learning styles. The childminder finds out what parents and children expect and enjoy. She regularly evaluates the quality of her service. For example, she has enhanced the garden and the outdoor learning experiences she provides for children. The childminder keeps parents well informed about children's daily experiences and shares regular information on their progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gets to know children well. She supports children's communication and language well. For example, when appropriate, she provides a running commentary as children play and children respond using simple words, gestures and expressions. The childminder follows children's interests and allows them to lead their play. For example, young children delight in manoeuvring their cars and show good control. The childminder demonstrates new skills and gives children time to experiment and explore. For instance, children enjoyed investigating texture and making marks in the dough. Children show an interest in books and listen to stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder's home is warm and welcoming. The childminder promotes children's health and well-being effectively. For example, she teaches children good personal hygiene routines and offers healthy eating options. Children enjoy regular physical exercise. For example, they enjoy walking in the community and being out in the fresh air. Children start to learn about the importance of staying safe, for example how to cross the road. Children have opportunities to attend local groups where they can mix with other children. They learn about the wider society, for example from a variety of resources and celebrating different festivals. Children develop positive relationships with their peers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are inquisitive, eager learners and readily take part in the activities on offer. They listen to the childminder and follow simple instructions. Older children enjoy using their imagination and develop skills in simple mathematics. They develop good independence skills, for example they choose with what they would like to play. Children develop the key skills they need for future learning and school.
