Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistants know how to protect children's welfare. For example, they have completed child protection training and are confident about signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know how to report any concerns. The childminder deploys her assistants effectively and ensures they consistently keep children safe. For example, when children access activities in the games room at the end of the garden, she ensures they are always well supervised. The childminder meets regularly with her assistants to discuss aspects of the provision and their practice. She monitors the setting well and values the input of children and parents. The childminder and her assistants attend training beneficial to their practice. They are keen to keep their knowledge up to date and build on their skills even further. For instance, they have attended training at the school to help support the mathematical and

handwriting skills of the different age groups of children in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a home-from-home environment, with a wide variety of inviting activities suitable for the different ages of children that attend. For example, children work as a team and use their imaginations very well to create a talent competition. They build on their skills, for example, learning to use hula hoops. Children show good creative skills. For example, they select natural resources to make bug houses. They are curious and hunt for insects in the garden, turning over stones and small logs, fascinated by what they find. The childminder and her assistants support children's communication and language well. For example, they encourage the children to discuss the bugs that they find and support their knowledge further, such as through looking at posters and books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistants take an interest in the children's day and talk to them about their interests and feelings. When children are unwell or upset, the childminder and her assistants are kind and sensitive and provide them with some quiet time to relax. The childminder supports children to develop a positive understanding of the wider world. They develop a good awareness of different people, cultures and religions. Older children show kindness and consideration to their younger peers and offer to support them when they take part in activities. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. They know how to use scissors safely and show a good awareness of road safety. Children have an abundance of opportunity to be physically active and lead a healthy lifestyle. For example, they participate in football games, use large play apparatus and enjoy nutritious meals and snacks.
