p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has attended safeguarding training and has a good knowledge of her roles and responsibilities to protect children and keep them safe. The childminder works closely with other childcare professionals at local children's centres to share good practice, such as keeping up to date with wider safeguarding issues. She has in place a good range of policies and procedures. This underpins her practice well and is shared with parents effectively. The childminder has a good understanding of how to make the environment safe. She checks the setting daily and removes any potential hazards to help keep children as safe from harm as possible. The childminder monitors and evaluates her practice and the quality of her childcare provision, resulting in good outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly observes children in their play, which allows her to identify what they need to learn next. She plans interesting, fun activities that children enjoy and which motivate them to learn. The childminder promotes children's communication and language skills well. She repeats what children have said to her to support them to hear the correct pronunciation of words. Young children enjoy investigating sensory materials as they rummage through an assortment of different sized buttons, balls, dice and straws. They develop their concentration and hand-to-eye coordination, as they fill and empty different sized containers using the different resources at hand.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's care. Well-organised settling-in sessions ensure that children form a strong attachment with the childminder. This helps them children to feel comfortable, confident and secure in the childminder's home. Children learn about leading a healthy lifestyle. They are provided with healthy, freshly cooked meals and have regular exercise in the garden, parks and on walks. Their independence skills are well supported. The childminder is a good role model and gives children lots of praise and encouragement. Children behave well and develop good manners. They learn to demonstrate kindness and develop positive attitudes towards others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress across all areas of learning. Young children are learning to count and recognise colour through everyday experiences. Children learn to share, take turns, help with tasks and listen carefully to the childminder. They display growing independence and are gaining the skills and attitudes needed for their future learning, including starting school. Children learn how to handle books correctly and begin to listen to stories that are read to them with increasing attention and understanding.
