p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder regularly reflects on how well she is meeting the needs of children in her setting. She seeks and values parents' views and responds to children's ideas positively. Parents praise the levels of care the childminder provides. They know their children enjoy attending and are well supported in their learning. The childminder monitors children's progress over time and generally keeps parents well informed about their children's achievements and interests. There are strong partnerships with settings and schools that children also attend, providing consistency and continuity in children's care and learning. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder ensures her setting is safe through daily risk assessments. She keeps up to date with current safeguarding guidance.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children's current interests through her observations of their play and makes sure there are appropriate resources available. She teaches children to count and understand mathematical language. For example, the childminder counts the number of bounces children make with balls and encourages them to join in with her counting. She shows children the apples on the tree and compares the different sizes. Children have good opportunities to develop their early writing skills. They use chalk to make marks on the garden path and tell the childminder what they have written. The childminder takes children to different events, for example, at the local library where they participate in different activities, such as music and movement. Children enjoy hearing their favourite stories and begin to recognise some letters and words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has an inviting and well-organised setting. The range of resources provided motivates all children who attend. Children have daily opportunities to be physically active and to develop their understanding of healthy lifestyles. They develop control and coordination as they play with the good range of equipment in the garden. Children are taken on walks in the local area. The childminder gives parents useful information about healthy packed lunches and snacks. She teaches children the importance of washing their hands properly. Children learn how to manage some risks, for example, crossing the road. The childminder plans many opportunities that help children to understand and respect the differences between themselves and others. Children are well behaved and learn to share and take turns as they play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress over time. They have strong foundations in reading, writing and mathematics that prepare them well as they move to school. Children are confident to express their views and use new words they have learned. They listen carefully and follow instructions. Children show much independence as they select resources they need to achieve an outcome. They have positive attitudes to learning that will help them to continue and maintain good progress in their future learning.
