p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare and who to report any concerns to. The childminder keeps children safe in her home and when she takes them out. She carries out daily checks on her home to maintain a safe and hygienic environment. The childminder teaches children to consider hazards and risks as they play. For example, children think about picking up toys so it is safe to move around in the childminder's home. The childminder is committed to developing her professional skills further. For example, she has accessed training to enhance her understanding of how to develop children's communication skills. She takes account of parents' views and advice from other childcare professionals to help her make effective changes. The childminder monitors children's progress well to help move them on in their learning. She exchanges good

information with parents which allows them to extend their children's learning at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder helps children develop their understanding of mathematics and literacy. For example, she provides opportunities for children to play and construct with shapes and skilfully introduces numbers and counting during activities. The childminder supports children's communication skills effectively. She speaks to children continuously as they play and expands their vocabulary by introducing and repeating new words and simple sentences. Children enjoy listening to and joining in with their favourite songs and rhymes. Babies enthusiastically join in by babbling and clapping.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form close and caring relationships with the childminder. Children seek and receive affection from the childminder, who is very sensitive to their needs. For example, when younger children wake from sleeping they walk straight into the outstretched arms of the childminder for a cuddle. The childminder is a positive role model for the children. She teaches them how to manage their own feelings and to understand how their actions can affect others. Older children show care and concern for younger children and share resources fairly. The childminder provides lots of praise to help them understand what they are doing well. The childminder helps children to learn about the benefits of healthy lifestyles extremely well. For example, children have daily exercise at local parks and playgroups. They enjoy a wide range of healthy meals, which includes plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. She makes effective use of opportunities to teach children

why handwashing before eating and after nappy changing is important.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. They develop a good range of physical skills using their large- and small-muscle movements. For example, babies learn to crawl, walk and dance to music. Older children create junk models, make marks with chalk and paint with large paintbrushes. Children are well prepared for their next stage of learning.
