p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has attended safeguarding training. She has a good understanding of how to keep children safe. For example, she supervises children well and carries out daily safety checks to ensure risks are eliminated. The childminder understands the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child's well- being. Overall, the childminder evaluates her practice well. She reflects daily on the activities she provides and highlights areas that she would like to develop, to improve outcomes for children. The childminder has developed effective partnerships with other settings children attend in order to consistently support children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children in her care well and plans a variety of activities based around their individual interests and next steps in learning. She successfully supports children while they play, following their lead and extending their learning. They enjoy chatting with her and she listens patiently and gives them time to put their thoughts into words. Children benefit from well-planned activities that help to support their creativity. For example, children delight in exploring play dough using a range of tools to support their small-muscle skills. The childminder effectively supports children to develop good literacy skills. For example, children give meanings to the marks they make and begin to form recognisable letters in their name.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and are kind and considerate. They listen and follow instructions well and have a good awareness of the setting's boundaries. The childminder acts as a positive role model. She gives lots of praise and encouragement during activities, and helps children to develop their self-esteem and confidence. The childminder helps children to develop an awareness of safety and successfully fosters their sense of responsibility. For example, children learn how to use resources safely and confidently explain what might happen if they do not. The childminder encourages children to begin to develop their independence. For example, children manage their own self-care needs and help to tidy up after activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are confident and capable learners and are working comfortably within the typical range of development for their age. They are inquisitive and independently explore resources with enthusiasm. Children concentrate well during planned activities and are eager to learn. Children develop good mathematical skills. For example, they count objects and match them to the correct numeral. Children are learning the necessary skills for their future learning and the eventual move on to school.
