Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is trained in child protection and is able to clearly identify the possible signs of abuse and neglect. She receives regular updates from the local authority and understands her responsibility with regard to preventing children from being drawn into harmful situations. The childminder reviews and tracks children's learning and development each term. This helps her to establish how well children are progressing and to identify any areas in their learning where additional support is needed. The childminder keeps parents informed about their children's learning and provides a written summary each term about their children's progress. The childminder has developed her self-evaluation process and accurately reviews the quality of her provision. The views of parents and children are sought to help develop her provision further.
