Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. There are robust risk assessments in place for the setting and local visits to ensure that children are kept safe. The childminder understands the local area procedures to safeguard children. She knows the signs that may cause her to be concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder accesses relevant safeguarding training to keep her policies and procedures current. The progress children make over time is closely monitored by the childminder to ensure good outcomes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is very responsive to children's needs and interests throughout the day. She is very competent at engaging children in their learning. Children delight in retelling a popular story about a troll as they walk across a wooden bridge. The childminder supports children to be creative through her conversations with them, for example, encouraging them to say what the troll might eat. The childminder's observations of children's learning and development are used well to assess their progress over time. Children's achievements are regularly shared with parents. The childminder values the information parents share about their children's learning at home. She uses this to identify children's starting points and to plan what they need to learn next. This results in an effective two- way flow of information to support children's learning, both at home and in the setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has a calm and friendly manner which results in children responding to her very positively. Children are encouraged to treat each other and resources with care and respect. They demonstrate a strong sense of belonging in the setting. The childminder knows the children extremely well. She ensures that the available resources provide many opportunities for children to follow their current interests. Children enjoy participating in everyday tasks, for example, opening the post. They know and enjoy the daily routine, which supports them in feeling emotionally secure.

p.3
