p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder understands her role and responsibilities well. She is committed to keeping children safe and encourages them to keep themselves safe, such as by teaching them the procedure for escaping in a fire. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is confident in her knowledge of the signs and symptoms that would cause concern about a child's welfare. The childminder works effectively with other professionals to provide consistent support for children. For instance, she liaises well with children's new teachers and provides a report about their abilities and interests.

p.3

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has implemented effective house rules. Children behave well. The childminder supports children's emotional well-being well. For instance, she displays pictures of the children's families and pictures of the flags that represent their nationalities. The childminder provides healthy and nutritious meals and snacks. She shares recipes with parents if children enjoy the food. The childminder caters for dietary requirements successfully and works well with parents to devise ways to support children through potty training to provide a consistent approach. Children are happy and motivated to explore new activities. Babies gain confidence and communicate their desires, babbling or using gestures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and gain skills in early mathematics and literacy. Babies enjoy exploring marks they make in different materials and develop the muscles in their hands as they experiment with how to grip tools in different ways. Children gain independence skills and learn to take responsibilities. For example, children use their initiative to collect the post and bring it to the childminder.
