Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a robust understanding of child protection issues. She knows the procedures to follow should she be worried that a child may be suffering from abuse. The childminder regularly seeks the views of parents and children, and uses this to set priorities for improvement. She attends regular training, which helps to promote the quality of teaching and learning. For example, following training attended, the childminder understands how to identify and plan for the different ways that children learn. The childminder establishes strong partnership working with parents and other professionals to provide consistency in children's care, learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works effectively with parents to discuss what experiences children have enjoyed and the milestones they have reached. She provides ideas to promote children's learning at home and at the setting. The childminder promotes children's language and communication skills well, in a variety of ways. She uses songs, stories and puppets to encourage children to join in. The childminder copies the sounds younger children make and repeats words and actions. She gives older children plenty of time to think and respond to questions. She encourages them to talk about things that interest them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder shares information with parents, from the start and gathers information about children's care needs and routines. She gets to know children well and helps them to settle in and form a strong bond and attachment. The childminder is a good role model and gives gentle reminders of behavioural expectations. Children enjoy the praise and encouragement they receive and play together very well. The childminder helps children to keep themselves safe and healthy, and she provides regular opportunities for them to experience the outdoors. Children have fun collecting leaves for the pet rabbit to eat and they learn about how to care for animals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active and enthusiastic learners. They enjoy making friends and are confident, motivated and self-assured. They are developing good social skills and are kind and caring towards each other. All children are making good progress towards the early learning goals. Parents state they are very happy that children settle in well and that they are prepared well for their move on to school.
