p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder demonstrates a good awareness of local safeguarding procedures and the steps to follow, should she be concerned about the welfare of a child. The childminder completes regular training and evaluates her development. For example, she has completed promoting positive behaviour training and learned how to manage children's behavioural and emotional difficulties. This has helped to enhance practice and the childminder now knows how to encourage children to manage their own feelings and behaviour. The childminder works closely with other childminders. She uses this opportunity to share practice ideas. This helps her to keep up to date with changes in guidance. The childminder regularly reviews children's progress. She uses this information to identify and address any gaps in learning. The childminder reviews the overall quality of her provision. Parents and children share their thoughts and ideas

regarding any changes they would like to see. The childminder has an ambitious drive to make improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is good. Children participate in pretend play. They use small trains and wooden tracks. Children use large spaces to create tracks and various pathways for their trains to travel. The childminder plays alongside children and follows their lead during play. Children are confident and motivated to learn. Children are engaged in their play and actively encourage others to join in. They share thoughts and ideas. This helps them to extend their learning. They think of different ways their trains can move around the track. This helps to develop their imaginative skills. The childminder plans appropriately challenging activities based on children's interests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's physical skills are well promoted. Children demonstrate a keen interest in music and movement sessions. The childminder takes children to regular music sessions where they learn various songs and rhymes. Children use their counting skills when counting out different objects during song time. They are very well settled and demonstrate strong relationships with the childminder. The childminder provides regular praise and encouragement as children play. She talks to children during mirror play and encourages them to talk about their different features. This helps to promote their self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from what they know and can already do, when they first start at the setting. They learn how to use simple information, communication and technological equipment. Children use pretend mobile phones during role-play activities and imitate real life scenarios. This helps to develop their creative skills. Children are equipped with the key skills needed for future learning and the eventual move on to school.
