p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is enthusiastic about her role. She evaluates the quality of the setting well and monitors her assistant's practice regularly. She reflects well on the service she provides, identifying her setting's strengths and some areas to develop, to help improve children's outcomes. The childminder acts on feedback from others, such as parents, to help improve the quality of practice in the setting. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to keep children safe. She understands her duties in ensuring children's welfare, and knows how to report any concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant support children well while they play. For instance, they join in and demonstrate how to use resources to help support children's independence. Children enjoy role-play experiences, including pretending to make tea in the 'home corner'. Children share their ideas and develop their creative thinking well. The childminder provides children with enjoyable opportunities to develop their language skills. For instance, she and her assistant sing rhymes with children to help develop their vocabulary and speech. The childminder assesses children's abilities effectively and knows them well as individuals. She observes them regularly and plans meaningful experiences to support their particular needs and next steps in their learning. The childminder generally works with parents well. For example, she keeps them informed about the activities she provides and children's care routines.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are safe and behave well. The childminder acts as a good role model to children to help them learn how to behave appropriately. For example, she reminds children of the rules to teach them how to keep themselves safe, including not jumping on furniture. Children have good opportunities to learn about diversity. For instance, they play with resources that reflect each other's backgrounds to help them value and respect everyone's uniqueness. The childminder supports children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For example, she teaches them to wash their hands before eating. Children eat nutritious foods and learn about healthy lifestyles. Furthermore, they are active and develop their physical skills, to support their well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepares them well for their future learning and school. Children develop their social skills well. For instance, they learn how to interact with others and share. They communicate and listen well. Children enjoy looking at books, handling them carefully, while talking about the pictures.
