p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to keep children safe. The childminder and her assistants understand their duties in ensuring children's welfare, and they know how to report any concerns if they suspect a child is at risk of harm. The childminder monitors children's progress effectively. She regularly checks on what children are able to do, to help her identify and address any gaps in their learning. The childminder evaluates the quality of the setting effectively and monitors her assistants' practice regularly. She reflects well on the service she provides, identifying her setting's strengths and areas to help develop the provision further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play confidently in a welcoming, friendly environment. The childminder has changed the organisation of the daily routine since the last inspection. She provides most children with opportunities to explore a good range of interesting, age-appropriate resources. They are keen to investigate the activities available independently and concentrate well while they play. The childminder provides children with enjoyable opportunities to develop their language skills. For instance, she and her assistants sing rhymes with children to help develop their vocabulary and speech. The childminder assesses children's abilities well. She observes children regularly, knows what they can do and typically plans activities effectively to extend their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are safe and behave well. The childminder and her assistants act as good role models to help children learn how to behave with others. For example, they remind children to say 'please' and 'thank you' and they teach them to have good manners. The childminder supports children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, she teaches them to wash their hands after they use the toilet. Children eat nutritious foods and learn about healthy lifestyles. They are active and develop their physical skills to support their well-being. The childminder implements effective procedures to protect children from harm. She regularly assesses safety risks in all areas children use to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepare them well for their future learning. For example, toddlers learn to walk and begin to say words while they play. Children develop their social skills well. For instance, they learn how to interact with others and share. Children communicate and listen well. They develop their understanding of the world, such as while learning about the weather.
