p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to meet all children's care and learning needs. She ensures that parents are fully involved right from the start. She asks them about their children's prior learning and interests as part of induction arrangements. Consequently, she can provide appropriate activities and resources that successfully support children's progress from their starting points. She carefully monitors children's attainment. She knows where to seek support if any child does not make good progress over time. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder demonstrates a good knowledge of current safeguarding guidance. She understands the signs that would cause her to be concerned about a child's welfare and the actions she would take in these circumstances.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are keen and confident learners. They display high levels of involvement in their play. They particularly enjoy the activities and resources outside in the well-resourced garden. The childminder ensures planned activities motivate and nurture children's curiosity. Children explore the marks they make with water on the ground. The childminder explains to them how the heat from the sun makes the water marks disappear. Children develop their imaginative play, for example, they join in with a tea party and ‘cook’ play food on a ‘barbeque’. The childminder takes the children to groups and other activities in the local area. This gives children the opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy a range of experiences beyond the setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder supports children's personal development very successfully. Children fully comply with and understand the childminder's 'house rules'. For example, they know the importance of taking care of resources. The childminder is an excellent role model and supports children to share resources and take turns. Children behave extremely well and have strong social skills. They listen carefully to the childminder and are consistently positive in their responses. The childminder ensures that children become independent in their self-care skills. They have excellent opportunities to learn about different healthy practices, such as the importance of cleaning their teeth and visiting the dentist. The childminder plans many activities to help children learn, at first hand, about similarities and differences between themselves and others. As children prepare to move on to school, there are very robust processes in place to support them with this key transition.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They show respect for the resources and each other. Children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning, including for school. They acquire the skills and attitudes that will support their future learning. Children demonstrate much independence and confidently make choices. They show determination to achieve desired goals during their play.
