p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about children's welfare. She carefully checks the identity of any visitors and follows her policies and procedures to help keep children safe. The childminder risk assesses her premises daily to ensure children are able to move around freely and safely. She keeps her setting safe and secure. The childminder forms good partnerships with parents and regularly shares information with them. The childminder completes regular assessments and reports of the children's learning and development. This enables her to record any gaps in their learning and identify children's next steps.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified childminder develops positive relationships with children. She completes a progress check for children between the ages of two and three years and shares this with parents and health visitors. The childminder supports children's communication and language skills well. She talks to children as they make bird feeders. The children thoroughly enjoy threading the string through pieces of cereal. The childminder asks them how many they have threaded onto the string. Children respond and count and then show the childminder the birds in the trees. The childminder talks about how the birds are waiting for them to put the feeders on the branches. This helps children to understand about the world around them and develop their numeracy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. The childminder encourages them to follow rules and the daily routine. She fosters children's emotional and physical well-being effectively. She supports children in developing their self-care needs. Children choose the fruit they want at snack time and help to prepare it. Children are given daily access to the well resourced and welcoming outdoors. They are keen to water the flowers and show the childminder how they are growing. Children go on regular trips in the local community and visit different groups where they learn how to mix with other children. When on outings children learn about how to stay safe. They wear high-visibility jackets and are taught to hold hands and to wait and look before crossing the roads.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and develop key skills in readiness for their move on to school. They are independent and select from a good selection of resources to support their interests. Children learn how to master new mathematical skills, showing their enjoyment in counting and matching items. For example, they describe the shape they are holding and count how many holes are in each shape and compare the different shapes they see.
