Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to keep children safe in her environment. She is aware of the different signs which might indicate a child is at risk of harm. She knows how to respond to any concerns about a child's well-being appropriately. The childminder regularly evaluates the setting, seeking the views of parents and children. She has clear plans to improve the setting to further support children's learning. For instance, the childminder plans to develop her professional skills to benefit children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children in her care very well, along with their families. She works in partnership with parents, involving them in their children's learning, including when assessing children's starting points. The childminder's assessments of what children can do are precise. She plans suitably challenging activities to support children's learning across all areas of development. She observes children carefully and re-shapes activities following their lead. For example, when playing a ball-rolling game, children adapt what they are doing, overall making up new rules for the childminder to follow. The childminder supports children's communication skills, physical skills and social and emotional development well. For example, children take turns and join in a group singing activity using props to support their choices. The childminder plans different outings to help children learn about the wider world. For example, they visit the local park,

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have access to a wide range of resources, overall. The childminder offers a diverse curriculum designed to promote children's next steps in learning. Children are well behaved and polite. They listen carefully to the childminder and to each other. For example, older children encourage younger children to join in their play. The childminder helps children to become independent in managing their own personal needs. For instance, they access the bathroom independently and practise pouring their own drinks at snack time. The childminder supports children to learn about being healthy through physical activities and healthy eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making progress from their starting points. They are working comfortably within the range of development typical for their age. The childminder supports children's early literacy skills and mathematical development well. For example, they practise counting as they fill different containers with pasta. Children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning, including the eventual move to school.
