p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of the local safeguarding procedures and how to address concerns regarding children's welfare. She implements policies to help keep children safe and to manage risks. The childminder accurately assesses children's learning and plans for the next steps in their development. The childminder reflects on feedback from parents and has some plans for improving her provision, including further development of the outdoor area.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to promote learning and development and is enthusiastic when joining children in their play. She prioritises language and communication skills and children are making good progress. They are encouraged to put two words together to build sentences. Children also progress well in their physical development and the childminder sensitively supports those who are starting to walk as they begin to take steps independently. The childminder supports children to make choices. For example, when choosing balls she asks which colour they would like, naming the colours as she shows them each one.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceptionally well and the childminder encourages good manners by reminding children how to ask for things politely. Children are extremely secure and happy, and quickly settle when parents drop them off. The childminder promotes a very healthy lifestyle for children and provides freshly made meals for lunch. Children enjoy their food and follow good hygiene practices, including washing their hands before they eat. Children benefit from regular outdoor exercise in the garden and from excursions in the local area.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. Children develop independence in their learning and are eager to learn. Children are developing the skills they need for school, such as strong social skills and confidence in decision making and sharing.
