p.1

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the possible signs of abuse and how to refer any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder recognises the importance of professional development. She develops her skills effectively, such as through attending training, to help provide children with good-quality care and experiences. The childminder uses the information collected from parents when their children join, to identify clear starting points. This supports her to plan an exciting range of activities that helps children to make good progress in their learning and development. The childminder has good partnerships with parents and shares information about children's learning and achievements on a daily basis.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and understands how they need to develop next. She uses this knowledge and her assessments of their progress to plan activities carefully that are of interest to them. She provides a range of opportunities for children to use their imaginations as they make dishes inspired by their favourite story, with oats and other ingredients. Children receive praise and encouragement as they play and explore. Children develop their hand-to-eye coordination well as they learn to scoop and pour from one container to another. Children are starting to learn the sounds and letters of their names. They take part in self-registration, where they recognise their names on a card. Story times are engaging for children and they sustain their attention well. They enjoy repeating words and actions from their favourite books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. They demonstrate enjoyment of the childminder's company as they actively include her in their play and naturally turn to her for support and comfort. The childminder reinforces boundaries as she gently reminds children to share and take turns. She skilfully resolves minor conflicts by suggesting ideas that encourage the children to play well together. Children have daily opportunities to enjoy fresh air and exercise. They visit local parks and have access to equipment, for instance, balancing beams and climbing frames, that promotes their physical development. Children enjoy a variety of healthy and nutritious snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children's self-confidence is developing well. They make choices, lead their own play and concentrate for long periods on things that interest them. Children are learning to take responsibility, for example, as they tidy away the toys they have played with. Children make good rates of progress and are gaining the skills and knowledge required for their future learning, including their transition to school.
