Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed child protection training and has a good understanding of the signs and symptoms of abuse. She shares information with parents daily about their child's interests, abilities and care routines. Parents comment positively about the childminder and say that she is loving, caring, trustworthy, honest and reliable. The childminder helps children to learn about how to keep themselves safe. She talks to them about road safety when walking in the street. She carries out fire evacuation drills in her home. Younger children demonstrate their awareness of the procedure to follow and say, 'The fire alarm goes off and shut the door'. The childminder gathers feedback from parents about the service she provides. Recent changes to the toys and resources help children to be motivated and interested to learn.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well and provides opportunities for them to extend their interests. She helps children to learn about the wider world and their own and other's cultures. The childminder offers toys and resources that reflect other cultures. She provides opportunities for children to make paper lanterns on Chinese New Year. The childminder weaves mathematical language into children's play. She asks them to count the number of wheels that children line up on the floor. Children confidently count to 11. The childminder is a good role model and helps them to count beyond this number. She talks to children as she plays alongside them and uses a good range of questions. Children demonstrate good listening skills and talk confidently about what they know.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a strong sense of belonging in the childminder's home. They laugh when the childminder tickles them. Children behave well. The childminder praises their achievements, helping to raise their self-esteem. She speaks to parents about how they manage behaviour at home and promotes this well in her home, supporting consistency. The childminder encourages children to be independent and to do things for themselves. She provides opportunities for children to make pizzas and sandwiches for mealtimes. Children have choices about what foods they want to use. The childminder provides children with healthy snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children thoroughly enjoy playing alongside the childminder and demonstrate that they are emotionally secure. Children enjoy playing with construction toys and fix pieces together, developing their ability to solve problems. They talk confidently to the childminder about their interests in space. Children understand that they live on Earth and some other planets are, 'Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus'. They learn to care for their environment and help the childminder to tidy away toys. Children make good progress in preparation for their eventual move on to nursery or school.
