p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of the indicators that a child is being drawn into extreme ideas and views, and the procedures to follow. She knows what to do in the event of an allegation being made against her or a member of her household. The childminder successfully evaluates her service using the views of parents. She extends her knowledge and skills. For example, she learned through training how to improve her environment and meet children's learning needs. This helps her develop the quality of the provision and provide better outcomes for children. The childminder completes thorough risk assessments of her environment, which helps her identify and minimise any hazards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's learning and development well. She successfully monitors their progress from their starting points. This assists her to identify any gaps in development early and provide the appropriate support. The childminder encourages children to explore and investigate a wide range of textures and materials, such as sand, oil and paint. The childminder offers children choices and encourages them to make their own decisions. This helps them learn that their views are of value and important, and builds their confidence in their abilities. The childminder provides regular opportunities to involve parents in their children's learning. For example, she has daily discussions, shares learning records and supports learning at home. This helps provide a consistent approach in meeting children's development and care needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers a stimulating and welcoming environment. She successfully supports children's emotional well-being. For example, new children settle well and are happy with the childminder. The childminder effectively supports children's growing independence, such as encouraging young children to squeeze oil out of bottles themselves. The childminder helps children learn to keep themselves safe. For instance, she practises emergency evacuation procedures with them and sensitively supervises young children as they use small steps in the garden. The childminder helps children learn about healthy lifestyles. For example, she provides nutritious meals and daily opportunities to be active, such as visiting parks and using the outside space.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make progress that is appropriate for their age. Young children build their physical skills well, such as when they hold paintbrushes and attempt puzzles. They successfully keep their attention and interest in activities. Young children effectively develop their communication and language skills. For instance, they use basic words and make their own sounds.
