p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder thoroughly risk assesses her home to help ensure that potential hazards are minimised. She has a good understanding of child protection procedures and knows how to refer concerns to the relevant authorities. Good relationships with parents are evident and they speak highly of the care the childminder provides. The childminder understands her responsibilities with regard to working with assistants, including providing ongoing support and training. She ensures her assistant is aware of the setting's policies and procedures to meet the needs of all children. The childminder is committed to improving the quality of her provision. She researches ideas to help her introduce new learning opportunities for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children lead their own play and learning as they arrive back at the childminder's home after the school day. The childminder enables children to select activities that engage and capture their natural curiosity as learners. For example, children show great excitement as they join together to create a den. They select and gather resources, confidently negotiating roles, and become deeply involved in their imaginative play. The childminder supports children's language development very well throughout these activities. She allows children the time to initiate conversations and respects their thinking time, to help them develop their interaction.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy a warm and caring relationship with the childminder. The childminder acknowledges children's achievements with lots of praise and encouragement. She explains what is and is not acceptable behaviour and frequently provides reassurance. This helps to ensure that children develop confidence and self-esteem. The childminder helps children to learn how to keep themselves safe through conversations, activities and everyday routines. Children's physical development is effectively supported. They have daily fresh air and exercise as they walk back from school each day, and visit the local park on the way.
