p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is knowledgeable of the procedures she must follow should she have concerns about a child in her care. She has completed recent child protection training to help ensure she is up to date with current guidance, such as protecting children from extreme views and behaviours. The childminder completes thorough risk assessments to help ensure the areas used by children are safe and suitable. She successfully monitors babies when they are sleeping, to help ensure their safety and welfare is maintained. The childminder reflects on the service she provides. She reviews the written comments provided by parents and also holds discussions with them to identify areas for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified childminder understands how children learn through play, and alongside her co-childminder, she routinely observes their development. The childminder completes accurate assessments of children, and takes prompt action when they do not make typical progress. She uses this information to plan activities that meet children's individual needs. The childminder recognises what children are interested in and builds on their learning quickly. For example, during a singing activity that children had chosen, she extends their understanding of different rhythms and sounds. Children learn to beat out different paces and whether this is loud or soft. They dance, bouncing their bodies and move around, as they use their small- and large-muscle skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children from an early age develop their self-care skills well. For example, they peel fresh fruit for their healthy snack, and manage their own needs during toilet time. Children learn about healthy lifestyles, and how to keep themselves safe effectively through routines and activities. For example, they help tidy away the toys, so they do not trip over them and regularly benefit from exercise outdoors. The childminder and her co-childminder are good role models They are clear and consistent in the messages they deliver to children. Minor disputes are dealt with quickly and calmly. This is one way they help children learn to play cooperatively and share toys and take turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. They are acquiring the necessary skills for their future learning and their eventual move on to school. Children make independent choices in their play, such as choosing to play indoors or outdoors. Children's mathematical and language skills are developing well. They name the colour of plates and cups at mealtimes, and count how many scoops of rice they take to fill up the bowls. Children's literacy skills are also supported well. They enjoy making marks on different surfaces. Children explore books independently and delight in having stories read to them. Babies confidently explore their environment. For example, they bang objects together and press buttons on toys to make sounds.
