very pleased with the service the childminder provides.  The childminder helps children play in ways that are safe for themselves and others. She reminds children about tidying away to reduce the risk of trips and falls.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to help keep children safe. She understands her duty to protect children's welfare, and knows how to report any concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm. The childminder is vigilant and ensures children are safe at all times. She completes ongoing assessments of her home and garden to ensure children can play safely. She provides parents with a good range of information about the service. The childminder uses a daily diary to keep parents well informed about the care their children receive and the activities the children have enjoyed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's learning and development well. She successfully monitors their progress from their starting points. This assists her to identify any gaps in development early and provide the appropriate support. The childminder gets down to children's level and talks to them as they play. She responds well to children's language and models language as they play. Children learn to use tools with control. They develop their physical skills well and give meaning to the things they draw. For example, they draw circles and shapes to represent people in their lives. The childminder encourages children's interest in books. For example, they enjoy looking at their own photo books and talking about the activities they have done.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works closely with parents to find out about children's abilities and home routines. This helps her to support children to settle well, continue their learning and feel safe and secure. Parents comment positively on the quality of care and learning their children receive. For example, they state the childminder provides enjoyable activities that help their children to learn and children love attending. The childminder maintains a welcoming and stimulating environment in which children are happy, settled and keen to explore. She gives children plenty of praise and encouragement, which helps to boost their self-esteem and confidence. Children behave well. Children develop good physical skills, for example, they chase and kick footballs with the childminder and compare who has scored the most goals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepares them well for their future learning and eventually for school. Children communicate well and listen attentively. Children develop a good awareness of the importance of good hygiene practices, such as washing their hands before eating and after using art materials. Children enjoy a variety of creative activities to develop their ideas. For example, they use shiny shapes, pom-poms and pens to make their own creations.
