p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder works with assistants and the ratios are well maintained. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has systems to ensure everyone clearly understands their duty to protect children, ensuring children are always well supervised and cared for. The childminder has effective systems in place to monitor her assistant's performance. She carries out regular meetings with them to help support their professional development and offers them opportunities for training. The childminder maintains a record of children's attendance so that it is clear who is present on the day. The childminder effectively reviews the quality of her provision. Since the last inspection, there have been significant improvements and previous actions have been addressed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gathers information from parents about what interests their children and what they can do. The childminder carries out regular observations and assessments, and uses this information to plan for children's next steps in their learning. The childminder takes care to ensure that children are able to lead their own play. For example, she has made a book showing the range of resources available so that children can choose items that are stored out of sight. The childminder provides age-appropriate equipment to develop their physical coordination. For example, she encourages young children to cut their own fruits during snack time. In addition, they are encouraged to use scissors safely during creative activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled. They are offered a nurturing environment in which they flourish and excitedly explore. Children have strong relationships with adults and demonstrate they are secure. The childminder and her assistants are consistent when managing children's behaviour. They give children positive messages about their expectations and support children to develop good social skills. Children are independent and learn to use equipment skillfully for their age. For example, they very carefully and sensibly help to prepare snacks using knives.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their next stage of learning, including school. The younger children show curiosity as they move around and explore the environment independently. Older children express themselves clearly and confidently, and are skilled communicators.
