p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of her role to protect children, including the safeguarding procedures to ensure their safety and welfare. The childminder closely monitors children while they rest and play to ensure their well-being. For example, babies practise walking movements safely while others enjoy learning how to use new art and craft resources correctly. The childminder effectively works closely with other childminders. Children have fun attending community groups managed by the childminder and her peers to strengthen children's social skills and play experiences. The childminder reflects on her practice well and works closely with the local authority to support and strengthen her knowledge. For example, she attends training and receives regular information so that her procedures are up to date.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder spends time with children to support their early reading skills. Children enjoy having stories read to them and show good levels of concentration while listening to familiar stories. Babies and children develop strong communication and language skills. For example, the childminder consistently talks to children and imitates young children's babbles. Children have fun taking part in a broad range of activities that helps them to be imaginative learners. For example, they take pleasure decorating cakes, engaging in craft activities and playing with role-play toys. Children learn how to develop good memory and matching skills. For example, they have fun playing simple card games with the childminder.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides ample opportunities for children to gain a good understanding of adopting a healthy lifestyle. For example, they have fun engaging in raspberry picking activities which help them learn about where food comes from and about healthy eating. Children behave well and often show kindness and affection towards friends and others. For example, children willingly offer to share their packed lunch with the childminder and most-able children automatically give babies their comforters before rest times. Children show good levels of independence. For example, they undertake daily hygiene routines well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in all areas and are prepared well for their move to school. They engage in a varied range of outdoor pursuits to strengthen their physical skills and learning. For example, children have fun visiting farms and local parks. Children use some number words confidently during their play and learn about quantity while engaging in cooking activities.
