For example, she liaises with parents about children's care and well-being, and encourages children to eat a variety of nutritious food.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed training in child protection. She understands her roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe, and how to report any concerns about their welfare. The childminder successfully implements a range of documents, records and policies that underpin her good practice. She places a robust emphasis on children's safety and carries out risk assessments effectively. This helps her to identify and minimise hazards to children. The childminder networks with other professionals and regularly keeps her skills and knowledge up to date. This helps to improve learning outcomes for children. For example, following training, she developed effective strategies to work in partnership with other settings that children may also attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes regular observations and assessments of children's learning. She shares this information with parents to keep them informed of their child's progress. Children enjoy taking part in mathematical activities. For example, they hunt for shapes in the garden and connect numbered mats together in the correct sequence. The childminder promotes children's physical development well. For example, children enjoy music and dance sessions daily. They take part in plenty of outdoor activities, such as in the garden or visits to local parks. Children show a growing understanding of technology. For example, they experiment with recording equipment and are fascinated when they hear their own voice.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a safe environment and supervises children vigilantly at all times. She provides clear and consistent messages, which helps children learn to respect and value the differing needs of their friends. For example, children draw self-portraits and talk about their similarities and differences. The childminder uses a range of opportunities to develop children's understanding of the wider world. For example, she takes them to visit groups in the local community. This helps to develop their confidence and social skills. Children show good manners and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good self-care skills. For example, they put on their coats, do up the buttons and zips ready to go outdoors. Children are developing good communication, language and literacy skills. For example, they listen to and follow instructions. Younger children make marks in sand and older children actively describe their drawings. All children make good progress from their starting points. They develop the key skills they need in preparation for nursery or school.
