p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to protect children and implements effective policies and procedures to ensure their welfare. She knows how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm. The childminder evaluates her practice well. She recognises her strengths and areas for her to improve to help develop children's experiences. The childminder implements effective systems to check on children's progress, helping her to identify and address any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play in a friendly, stimulating, well-organised environment. They enjoy exploring a good range of interesting, age-appropriate books while learning how to handle them with care and turn the pages. The childminder provides good opportunities to develop children's literacy skills, such as encouraging them to talk about the pictures while she reads with them. Children have good opportunities to develop their understanding of the world. For example, they talk about the childminder's pet turtle and learn about what it eats. The childminder knows the children in her care well. She observes them regularly to find out their achievements and plans for their future learning effectively. She works well in partnerships with parents to help involve them in children's learning. For instance, she informs them of the activities she plans and what children are able to do.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder manages their behaviour effectively to help them learn what is and is not acceptable. For instance, she reminds them how to play nicely to help them learn how to treat others. The childminder helps children learn about healthy lifestyles and effectively supports their physical well-being. For example, she works with parents to ensure children eat nutritious foods and provides opportunities for children to be active. The childminder supports children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, she teaches them to wash their hands before they eat. Children have good opportunities to learn about diversity and develop mutual respect for others. They explore toys that reflect the different people in the community and learn about similarities and differences between themselves and others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepare them well for their future learning and eventually for school. They develop good communication skills, such as learning to use words in context and communicating confidently. Children explore creative activities, such as making a collage while learning to use tools with control. They count objects accurately and listen to stories with interest.
