p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of the potential signs and symptom of abuse. She knows the correct procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder uses effective risk assessments to help minimise potential hazards. She holds a current paediatric first-aid qualification. This contributes to supporting children's well-being in the event of a minor accident. The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She knows how to seek additional support for individual children, when required. The childminder is enthusiastic and reflective. She gathers parents' views to help evaluate her provision. The childminder seeks their ideas through daily discussions and from written comments.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder follows children's ideas and plays alongside them. She asks questions and talks about what is happening to help extend their learning. For example, she encourages children to describe the changes in texture as they add sand to water. Children enjoy singing familiar rhymes. They cuddle up close to the childminder as she reads stories to them. She encourages children to listen carefully and to recall what they have heard. This helps to foster their language development and literacy skills. The childminder fosters children's awareness of diversity. Children use their imagination as they play. They make marks with a variety of materials. For example, they enjoy printing with different colours of paint. The childminder encourages children to count and recognise shape. This contributes to supporting their mathematical development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children make independent choices about their play. They enjoy trying out their ideas. They are learning to take appropriate risk in their play. The childminder supports children's understanding of ways to help keep themselves safe. For example, she reminds them to hold on tight to the supporting ropes of the moving swing. Children enjoy climbing and balancing on outdoor equipment. This helps to support their physical development and well-being. The childminder fosters children's independence and self-care well. For example, they peel fresh fruit at snack time and put on their shoes before going outside. Gradual admission procedures are effective. The childminder uses words from children's home language to aid familiarity and to help support their communication skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, are making good progress in their learning. Children are gaining self-confidence and forming friendships. They are curious and enthusiastic. Children are able to find familiar letters of their name, which contributes to promoting their literacy skills. They are gaining skills that will support them in the next stage of their learning.
