p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The qualified childminder carefully monitors the progress children make across every area of their learning and uses this effectively to inform the plans for them to make good progress. She shares information with her assistants to enable them to focus their teaching and complete high-quality observations. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is extremely vigilant and understands how to monitor any concerns about children's welfare. She ensures her assistants are aware of the procedures to follow to keep children safe and has built partnerships with other professionals to promote multi- agency working. Risk assessments are completed to identify potential hazards to children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a secure understanding of how to promote children's learning and development. She knows about their areas of interests and use this to plan activities which they are eager to take part in. For example, young children thoroughly enjoy developing their language as they name different farm animals. They explore the sensory elements to the activity and experiment pouring the water and playing imaginatively with the small- farm animals. The childminder challenges older children to use sentences and extend their literacy skills as they talk about the written animal-name cards and discuss the different farming tasks. The childminder values parents input into their children's learning. She shares daily observations and photographs of their children's activities with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gathers robust information about how to meet children's specific care needs before they start. For example, she asks parents to tell her about babies' sleeping patterns and any dietary or health needs they have. Children have developed secure bonds with the childminder and her assistants. They benefit from being in the caring environment and show they feel safe there. The childminder encourages children to make healthy choices and learn about what contributes to a healthy lifestyle. She provides fresh drinking water at all times and children take part in a daily dancing activity indoors or outdoors. This helps them to develop their physical skills and take part in exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and have high levels of self-esteem. They make particularly good progress in their understanding of the wider world and develop respect for other people and communities beyond their own. Children are working in the stages of development typically expected for their age. Older children show readiness for starting school and are keen to carry out small tasks. Young children learn how to take turns and share. They persevere to develop new skills and show good levels of concentration.
