p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an in-depth knowledge of child protection. She is always extremely vigilant in keeping children safe and completes regular safeguarding training. She is confident in her knowledge with regards to the signs of abuse and knows how to report possible concerns. The childminder gathers relevant information from parents when children first start, to help identify their children's individual needs, routines and care preferences. She has established good relationships with parents and regularly updates and involves them in their child's learning and development. The childminder uses effective tools to monitor children's progress and to spot any gaps in learning. The childminder reflects on her practice constantly, setting herself realistic targets for the future.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is a confident and effective communicator with children of different ages and abilities. She introduces and models the correct use of language, uses age- appropriate questioning and engages children in conversation during daily routines and activities. She encourages the children to offer ideas and suggestions, and takes these on board when planning activities. The childminder has a wonderful and effortless approach to adapting activities so that she meets the needs and stage of development of all the children in her care. For example, during a hedgehog creative activity, she was able to support a younger child who is still developing their coordination skills, without losing the interest or focus of the older child.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are incredibly happy, calm and secure. The childminder has a wonderfully kind and respectful approach to everything she does, allowing children to be themselves in a safe and interesting environment. The children behave very well and demonstrate lovely behaviour towards each other and the childminder. There are many opportunities for the children to become independent learners. For example, children put on their coats and shoes, and are also encouraged to tidy up the toys that have been playing with before moving on to something else.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated and eager to join in. They make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including school. The children are independent learners and are very proud to do things for themselves, such as toileting and getting dressed.
