p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the procedures to follow to report concerns about a child's welfare and has completed child protection training. She has a secure knowledge of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and the wider safeguarding issues. She assesses risks to children in her home and on outings to ensure children are safe and secure in her care. The childminder reviews her provision to identify any areas for improvement and seeks the views of parents. Parents are very happy with the service that the childminder provides.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children very well. She focuses on children's interests and what they need to learn next when planning activities. The childminder tracks their progress effectively to enable her to identify any gaps in children's learning. She encourages children's literacy, communication and language skills effectively. For example, children enjoy looking at books and listening to stories. They engage in discussions about the pictures and characters. Children enjoy spontaneous activities, such as moulding with play dough to create shapes. Children confidently select tools to support their creative ideas and use these competently, such as cutters and rolling pins as they manipulate the dough. The childminder seizes opportunities to encourage children to count the cut-out figures and recognise shapes and colours. Children use their imagination as they role play with pretend food making lunch for the childminder.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display a real sense of belonging as they confidently move around their environment. They are happy, settled and have developed strong attachments with the childminder. The childminder helps to support children's physical health and well-being. Children benefit from daily outdoor play and regular outings in the local community. Children learn how to manage their own behaviour and are confident in their surroundings. They are able to understand about staying safe and managing risks, such as how to cross the road and they learn about fire safety. Children understand and adopt healthy habits, such as good personal hygiene practices, because the childminder ensures they wash their hands before meals. She shows children that she values their individual cultures. For example, she provides opportunities for children celebrate cultural events.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress and gaining the necessary skills to be ready for school or the next stage of their learning. Children develop their counting skills well and learn to order objects by shape, colour and size. Children are happy to make independent choices about with what to play. They are enthusiastic learners who are eager to take part in activities. Children are encouraged to be independent as they put on their shoes and coat ready for outdoor play.
