p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The qualified and experienced childminder continually strives to improve her practice. She works closely with other childminders and takes part in training to develop her skills further. For example, recent training on play has helped her to support children's play to develop their imaginations further. The childminder recognises her responsibility to keep children safe. She has a good awareness of child protection matters and she suitably understands the procedures that she should follow to report concerns about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder carries out regular observations and assessments of children's progress. She knows what children are interested in and she uses their interests well to engage them in meaningful play. Children are happy and confident. They develop secure attachments with the childminder and her family. The childminder supports children's mathematical awareness well. For example, she models counting and uses number names as she plays alongside children. Children copy and demonstrate confidence in comparing toys by size and exploring quantities as they count the bricks they build with.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder teaches children to be independent at taking responsibility for their personal care. For example, she reminds children to wash their hands before meals, and young children learn to feed themselves and clean their faces after eating. The childminder provides children with opportunities to have exercise and physical play. For example, she takes children on outings to the park, and children enjoy dancing and using the tunnels and tents indoors. Children learn to be aware of how exercise can affect their bodies. For example, the childminder talks to children about how their hearts beat faster, helping them to realise that water will help to cool them down. The childminder provides opportunities for children to learn about the beliefs and celebrations of people from backgrounds different to their own. For instance, children learn about cultural celebrations during festivals and take part in events within the local community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the skills that prepare them well for the next stage of their learning and the eventual move on to school. All children develop good listening skills. Older children develop an interest in early literacy. For example, they remain focused and concentrate as they use the pictures in books to tell stories and to talk about what they think will happen next. Younger children develop their language skills well. They excitedly copy words during play and join in to sing familiar songs alongside their peers.
