p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder plans and organises the children's day well. She effectively monitors their enjoyment and progress, and successfully shares her assessments on her observations with parents. This contributes to the consistency in the children's learning. The childminder maintains accurate records, such as accident, medication and risk assessments. She constantly reflects on safety, indoors and outdoors, and ensures her home is suitable for children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has recently reviewed and updated her child protection knowledge. She understands the signs where children are at risk and the procedures to follow to ensure children are safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's learning and helps them to make good progress. She assesses children's abilities when they start and successfully plans, and adapts activities, based on their capabilities and interests. For example, toddlers are fully included in the activities of older children, such as making models of gingerbread men. Babies have fun mixing brown paint and dabbing it on card while older children learn more precise movements. The childminder chats to children to support their speaking, listening and understanding. Children have fun being active outdoors, and the childminder effectively extends this in many ways. For instance, they play catch with different balls and toddlers push model animals down the slide before they try to do this on their own.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely happy, relaxed and content. This is due to the childminder's extremely close attention and adherence to the detailed information she receives from parents. For instance, the childminder embraces the language of children who speak English as an additional language. She acquires a knowledge of their vocabulary and culture and skilfully introduces English to raise their fluency. The childminder proactively supports the wider ways children reflect on differences between themselves and others. For example, she uses systems, such as personalised learning and interactive stories, to help children relate to their emotions and feelings. The childminder is highly effective in understanding children's needs. She has successfully organised her playroom to maintain children's interest and help their independence. She also ensures they have excellent opportunities to socialise with other children, which helps their understanding of others

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are progressing well and develop the skills and attributes needed for their future learning. They show good listening skills and concentrate well in their chosen activities. They enjoy stories and participate well in related themes to support further learning. Children show high levels of independence, particularly with their personal hygiene needs. Children learn how to operate simple tools and technology, which supports their physical development and prepares their coordination for future writing. The childminder helps children to prepare for the challenges of school.
