p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has implemented a detailed safeguarding policy. This includes the steps to follow in the event of a concern regarding the welfare of a child. Furthermore, the childminder has a good understanding of the procedure to follow in the event of an allegation being made against her or a household member. The childminder encourages children to keep themselves safe. For instance, she helps them to learn the importance of crossing the road safely during walks and outings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children demonstrate very good creative skills. They create their own role-play scenarios and talk as they play. For example, children inform the childminder that they are taking their dolls for a walk. Furthermore, they pretend to make cups of tea and meals in the role-play kitchen. Children invite others into their games and use mathematical language as they play. For instance, they count the different number of cups and saucers they need for the amount of guests. The childminder uses a good range of questions and encourages children to think about what might happen next, particularly during story times. She models how to use resources for younger children and provides good levels of enthusiasm when children complete their challenges.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have regular access to physical activities. The childminder takes them on regular trips and outings. For instance, children attend soft play and toddler groups. Children thrive in this inviting setting. They settle very quickly and form close attachments to the childminder. The childminder implements robust settling-in procedures. She gathers information from parents regarding what children know and can already do. This helps her to settle the children in quickly. Children develop very good levels of independence. They learn to put on their own shoes and coats. The childminder encourages children to manage their self-care skills well. Children follow good hygiene practices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They have regular opportunities to participate in art and craft activities. Children have access to resources, including drain pipes and water trays, where they watch running water and make predictions in their learning. Children have good opportunities to develop their thinking skills. They are equipped with the key skills needed for future learning and their eventual move to school.
