p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of child protection issues and how to protect children from harm. She knows the steps to take to report any concerns, including allegations, to the relevant authorities. The childminder is vigilant in her supervision of children. She completes thorough risk assessments and ensures areas children access are safe and suitable for their care. The childminder holds a valid first-aid qualification and regularly updates her safeguarding training. The childminder makes good relationships with other settings children attend. This helps children in their move to school and nursery and helps to complement their learning well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder understands that children learn though play and interacts in a positive manner with the children. She knows the children well and uses their interests to help her provide a good range of learning experiences to support their development. For example, children enjoy art and craft activities. The childminder uses this information well and provides the children with a selection of drawing materials. Children use these effectively drawing straight lines and circles. The childminder talks to the children while they draw and holds purposeful conversations about their drawings. Children explore their sensory development. They enjoy feeling the pom-poms and glittery snow mixture. They count the pom-poms and compare the sizes, helping to develop their mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children show they are confident in their surroundings. They move around the rooms selecting their own toys and activities. They learn how to be safe. They take part in regular fire evacuations and are taught about road safety and stranger danger. They keep their play environment free from hazards as they pick toys up from the floor. The childminder supports children's health and physical development effectively. For instance, children enjoy regular outdoor play, learn good personal hygiene routines and benefit from healthy snacks. The childminder plans good opportunities for children to socialise with others. For example, they visit toddler groups and go to the library and shops. This helps them to learn about people and communities beyond their immediate families.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are developing skills for their future learning and eventual move to school. They confidently express and develop their own ideas. Children are developing good literacy skills. They enjoy reading books and are learning to write their names. They thoroughly enjoy technology. For example, children learn to switch on torches and are fascinated by the shiny lights as they shine them on the wall.
