p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is fully aware of child protection procedures and who to contact if she has any issues or concerns. She knows who to notify if an allegation is made against herself or any other individual living in the household. The childminder reflects on her daily practice and identifies her current strengths and areas for future improvement. She continues her professional development and accesses relevant training courses that help her to provide even better learning experiences for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides parents with good verbal feedback on a daily basis to keep them informed about their children's development. This supports them to continue their children's learning, overall. Children's communication and language skills are fostered well. For instance, the childminder asks purposeful questions and reinforces how to pronounce words to older children. In addition, she encourages younger children to develop their early speech and repeat single words. Children thoroughly enjoy being creative and the childminder encourages them to freely express their own ideas and thoughts. This helps to effectively support children's expressive art and design skills. The childminder successfully monitors children's ongoing progress. She uses this information efficiently to enable her to quickly recognise any gaps in their learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder sets a good example and models and demonstrates good behaviour to them as they learn. She uses frequent praise and encouragement which helps children to feel valued and appreciated. Settling-in procedures are good. The childminder offers home visits to families to enable her to get to know children in their own environment before inviting them to her provision. The childminder successfully promotes healthy lifestyles. She fully understands the benefits of exercise and active play, and promotes children's physical development. Furthermore, children follow effective hygiene practices and learn about healthy food choices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development. They listen well to instructions and understand the rules and boundaries. Children of all ages play cooperatively together. They are clearly familiar with the daily routines and are kind and helpful, and use good manners. Children develop a good understanding of technology. For example, they show enthusiasm and interest as they easily operate a selection of mechanical toys and resources.
