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 continually evaluates the service she provides and seeks the views of parents to help her review her provision. The childminder has successfully addressed the actions and recommendation raised at her last inspection. For example, she has developed positive partnerships with parents and regularly informs them about their children's progress. She provides a healthy well-balanced menu, which is shared with parents. 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 successfully plans for and monitors children's ongoing progress. She uses assessment information efficiently to enable her to quickly recognise any gaps in their learning and development. The childminder effectively incorporates mathematical language into children's play. She has a good awareness of how to support children to solve problems for themselves. For example, she makes effective use of commentary and questions that challenge children to think. They respond in their own time, as they play board games and learn to compare weights of different items. Children thoroughly enjoy being creative and the childminder encourages them to freely express their own ideas and thoughts. This helps to effectively support their art and design skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder sets a good example and models good behaviour to them as they learn. She uses frequent praise and encouragement which helps children to feel valued and appreciated. The childminder successfully promotes healthy lifestyles. She fully understands the benefits of exercise and active play and promotes children's physical development well. Furthermore, children follow effective hygiene procedures 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 kind and helpful and have good manners. Children develop their physical skills and demonstrate good control and coordination, for instance, as they are running around and riding on cars and scooters in the garden. Children of all ages are confident to explore and find things out for themselves.
