Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is clear on her role and responsibilities with regards to keeping children safe. She completes regular safeguarding training and is confident in her knowledge of the potential signs of abuse. She knows how to report possible concerns. The childminder assesses risks effectively and maintains a safe and secure environment. She works closely with parents, involving them in their child's learning and development. Parents speak highly of the childminder, commenting on the high rates of progress their children make and the nurturing environment the childminder provides.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of how to promote learning and development in young children. For example, during an activity using modelling dough, she extended the children's curiosity in numbers by suggesting that they count how many different shapes they had created. The childminder is a confident and effective communicator and introduces and models the correct use of language to children. She uses age-appropriate questioning and engages them in conversation during daily routines and activities. The childminder knows the children's individual interests extremely well and plans activities and experiences to support these. For example, she visits the local library twice a week to extend children's interests in books. The childminder provides a range of opportunities for children to learn about people and communities beyond their immediate experience.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a caring and welcoming environment. The children are extremely happy and secure, and have built strong attachments with the childminder. They feel welcomed and valued because the childminder frequently praises their efforts and shows a deep interest in them. The childminder encourages the children to become independent learners. For example, children took great care and effort in peeling their bananas at snack time and were very proud of themselves when they had completed this.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are highly motivated and eager to join in activities. They make good progress from their starting points and they are developing the key skills that are needed for the next stage in their learning, such as starting school. Children are extremely confident with numbers. For example, they happily counted from one to 100 using a number square. Children are confident to test things out and follow their own ideas. They are excellent communicators and enjoy expressing their ideas and opinions. For example, while making the modelling dough, children were able to list the ingredients that they needed next.
