Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have competed safeguarding training to update their knowledge and understanding of safeguarding issues. They know the correct procedures and the action to take if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder recognises the importance of ongoing professional development. She completes training and reads relevant publications to keep her knowledge up to date. The childminder supervises her assistant well. She provides support and training for her assistant to help ensure that together they provide a consistent approach to children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a secure understanding how children learn. She uses developmental guidance to monitor their progress. The childminder and her assistant engage well with children and make learning fun. They provide activities which reflect children's interests. For example, children thoroughly enjoy water play. The childminder effectively extends children's mathematical development. For instance, she talks to them about size and weight and helps them recognise which toys float and sink. She extends their interest by adding bubbles. Children play imaginatively and interact well. For example, they laugh as they take turns to hide in the tent.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's emotional well-being effectively. She is caring and attentive to their individual needs. For example, she recognises when children need the toilet and meets their personal care needs well. Children have regular opportunities to enjoy fresh air and exercise. They enjoy playing in the garden and make trips to the park. Children have opportunities to learn about differences between themselves and others, and develop a respect for others. The childminder provides opportunities for children to use their home languages, as well as English.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, are able to make good progress in relation to their starting points. Children are confident to try and attempt to master new skills. For example, they develop skills in using cutlery and holding pens correctly. Children are confident, engage well and make choices their play. They are developing a wide range of skills in preparation for the next stages in learning, including their eventual move on to school.
