p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of the signs that may indicate a concern about a child's welfare. She completes regular training to help her to recognise children who may be at risk. Careful monitoring and reviews of children's progress ensures that the childminder quickly identifies any delays or strengths in children's development. She uses the information she gathers through observing children to plan for their next steps and provide targeted support to any child who may need additional help. The childminder successfully shares information with parents regarding their children. This helps to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well. She skilfully helps them to gain a good understanding of numbers and provides opportunities to sort and count as they play. For example, toddlers' sort small-play fruits by their colour. As they do this, the childminder encourages them to count how many they have and uses language, such as 'one more'. This helps them to understand that if they add one more they have a greater number. The childminder uses technology effectively to help children to find things out. For instance, when children question where pineapples grow, she uses the internet to help them to discover that they grow on plants. The childminder places a good focus on supporting children's emerging literacy skills. For example, she encourages children to recognise their names and provides lots of stories and rhymes to encourage their enjoyment of reading.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder successfully helps children to understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, she involves children in preparing healthy meals and talks to them about where their food comes from. The childminder reinforces the importance of making healthy food choices. She encourages children to be independent. For example, dressing and undressing themselves and completing simple tasks, such as helping to tidy up toys. Children behave well. The childminder is calm and consistent in her approach and gives children lots of praise. She celebrates children's achievements and helps them to feel good about themselves. The childminder places a good focus on children's safety. For instance, she regularly checks the environment for any potential risks. The childminder teaches children the importance of keeping themselves safe, such as when using the steps in the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. They show a clear motivation to learn and develop independence and confidence in their abilities. Children can listen to others in a small group and follow instructions. They count reliably to 20. Children respect the similarities and differences between themselves and others. They can recognise and write their own name.
