p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of her responsibility to safeguard children and knows what to do if she is concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder has recently broadened her knowledge of child protection even further. For example, she has accessed information on the 'Prevent' duty guidance. She keeps accurate records, including emergency contacts and a register of children's attendance. The childminder seeks the views of children and parents. For example, children make choices from a wide range of resources and parents make requests in the daily diary. The childminder has changed the daily routines to meet the needs of individual children, to improve her practice further. The childminder's consistent engagement supports children's care, learning and development well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of each child's level of development and their interests. She supports and extends their learning well. For example, she provides small-world train tracks and train storybooks, and children thoroughly enjoy train rides that the childminder arranges. Children show perseverance and determination when putting the train track together. The childminder sits with them and sensitively guides them when they need help. There are many opportunities to support children's creativity. For example, children have great fun making marks with finger paints, rolling play dough or drawing with a range of pencils and crayons. The childminder provides lots of opportunities for children to enjoy books. For instance, she has created a cosy reading area for children to relax and look at picture books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's emotional well-being. She works with parents to ensure children settle and are happy. The childminder has created photograph books of family members for children to look at while they are in her care. Children's behaviour is good. The childminder is aware of strategies to use to manage children's behaviour, for different age ranges. She meets children's physical care needs well. For example, children have access to drinks throughout the day and enjoy healthy snacks. Children enjoy spending time outdoors, such as walking to local parks and shops and seeing the animals at the farm nearby. The childminder encourages children's independence from an early age. For example, children try to put on slippers and wash their hands independently.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The childminder completes two-year-old progress checks. She discusses these with parents to identify any gaps in children's attainment quickly. Children are happy and make good progress in their learning and development. They have many opportunities to meet other children to develop their social skills. The childminder supports children's communication and language well. For example, she reads books, sings rhymes and consistently models language during their play. Children are ready for the next stages in their learning and for their eventual move to school.
