p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is fully committed towards her work with children and she supports their welfare and development successfully. She has a secure understanding of how to identify and report any child protection concerns. The childminder has a good range of policies and procedures in place. She uses these well to help keep children safe and risks are further minimised through daily risk assessments. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder uses self-evaluation well to identify areas where improvements can be made. For example, she recognised how to improve her observation and assessment skills as well as enhancing the resources available for children's outdoor play. This helps to promote the quality of outcomes for children. She works closely with parents and carers as well as other professionals to support children with additional needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a secure understanding of how children learn. For example, she encourages children to persevere with tasks and to keep on trying. Children are keen to take part in activities and enjoy learning. The childminder gathers information from parents about their children's abilities when they start. The information she gains helps her to identify children's starting points and monitor progress. She encourages children to try new experiences and be creative. For example, they use a variety of different tools when playing with playdough. This helps develop children's coordination and physical skills while using their imagination. The childminder completes the progress check of two-year- olds to help her identify any gaps in children's learning and address them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a calm and positive role model who regularly praises children's efforts and achievements. Children enjoy lots of cuddles and hugs with her. The childminder is flexible in her organisation of the routines of the day, offering children choices about what they would like to do and when. This helps to promote their engagement and self-esteem. Children readily explore the environment and engage in activities well. The childminder encourages children to make choices and supports them well. Children get plenty of physical exercise and enjoy foods that take account of their individual dietary needs and are freshly prepared each day. This helps to support their good health.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress towards gaining the skills and attitudes needed for school. They learn to concentrate and know to ask for help when needed. Children learn the factors that promote a healthy lifestyle and use effective hygiene routines. They use good manners and learn to follow simple rules that help them to stay safe.
