p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of the signs that would cause her concern about a child's welfare and the processes to follow. She is aware of the indicators that children are being exposed to extreme behaviours and views. The childminder successfully monitors and reviews children's learning. This helps her identify any gaps in development early and provide the appropriate support. The childminder improves her knowledge and skills further. For example, she attends relevant training and works well with other professionals to help her improve her practice to provide a good- quality provision. The childminder effectively risk assesses her environment, which aids children to be able to play safely in their surroundings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder successfully supports children's learning and development. She builds their mathematical development well. For example, using shapes and positional language, such as 'behind', during activities. The childminder effectively supports children's communication and language skills. For example, she repeats younger children's early words and introduces colours to help extend their vocabulary further. The childminder follows children's lead in play and adapts activities to keep their engagement and fully challenge their learning. The childminder successfully helps children prepare for their move to school. For instance, she attends settling-in sessions with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a safe and welcoming environment. Children form secure emotional attachments and positive relationships with her. The childminder offers children clear guidance to help them manage their own behaviour. For example, she encourages children to share and explains why their actions are not appropriate. This helps them learn to behave well. The childminder supports children's knowledge of healthy lifestyles. For instance, she provides daily opportunities to be physically active, such as at the park, groups and on the school run. This aids their physical health well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make progress that is appropriate for their age and prepare well for their future learning. Younger children are friendly towards others and older children talk about their wider experiences, such as their first days at school. They are confident and eager to share their interests, such as dinosaurs. This helps children build their social skills well. Younger successfully children build their understanding. For example, they start to comprehend simple instructions.
