p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the procedures to follow should she have concerns about the welfare of a child in her care. She completes regular training and is aware of wider safeguarding issues. The childminder regularly checks the safety of outings and the environment to keep them free from hazards, and helps children understand how to keep safe. The childminder shares information with parents about children's learning and how they can further support their child's good progress at home. She provides a book with activities that parents can do with their children, such as how to teach numbers, colours, shapes, and letter and number formation. The childminder monitors children's progress using a tracking document and identifies any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a good range of interesting activities for children to support all areas of learning. She ensures activities are available inside and outside of her home, and supports children's physical development very well. Children play in the garden, visit local parks and go for walks in the community. The playroom is organised to promote children's choice and good independence as they choose what they play with. The childminder helps children to develop strong communication and language skills. She constantly talks to them and models language for younger children to help them learn new words. Children learn about mathematics through enjoyable activities, such as when they count dried beans as they place them in containers to create shakers. Children confidently match number cards and recognise colours. They are imaginative and enjoy pretending to make food and tea for the childminder and visitor in the role-play kitchen.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder meets children's personal and emotional needs well. Children behave well, are polite and use good manners. Children are encouraged to achieve and enjoy being praised by the childminder who praises them and gives 'high fives', which promotes their self-esteem. Children's good health is actively promoted. The childminder understands and works around children's need for a rest or sleep during the day, and spends time outdoors so that children benefit from fresh air and exercise. The childminder provides children with a range of healthy and nutritious snacks and meals. Children learn about the importance of staying safe through daily activities. For example, they are reminded of the importance of not running indoors to prevent them falling over.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children demonstrate good levels of confidence in their abilities and take pride in their achievements. They enjoy visits to local groups, parks and shops. Children's literacy and mathematical skills develop very well. For example, they competently count, sort and match objects. They develop good listening skills, and practise writing numbers and letters. Children are making good progress and gaining the necessary skills to be ready for school or the next stage of their learning.
