p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder ensures children get off to a flying start. She works closely with parents to identify children's starting points and interests. She uses this information well to plan for children's next steps in learning. The childminder carefully monitors children's progress so she knows if there are any emerging gaps in their learning. She knows how to seek support from other professionals, if needed. The childminder has strong partnerships with other settings that children also attend. This provides consistency in children's care and learning. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is confident in describing the signs that would cause her to be concerned about a child's welfare. She understands her responsibilities in reporting these concerns. The childminder is knowledgeable about current safeguarding issues.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans activities that support children's good progress over time. Children learn to count as they play games involving numbers. The childminder teaches the names of common shapes as children play with puzzles and print. Children are very confident to communicate their needs and interests. They show much interest as the childminder encourages them to explore different materials. They mix glue with paint and use this to make their chosen marks on paper. They have good opportunities to make links with home as they pretend to make a meal and bath the dolls. The childminder uses her observations of children to provide resources and activities that support their all-round development. She plans visits, such as to a local pet store, to help children learn about how to care for animals.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form strong emotional bonds with the childminder. They behave very well and demonstrate friendly behaviour to others. The childminder encourages children to make choices in their play. She supports them as they learn new skills, such as holding a paintbrush effectively. Children gain the confidence to see themselves as capable learners. They know that it often takes time and lots of attempts to achieve a desired outcome. The childminder responds positively to children's ideas and praises their efforts, which support their well-being. Children learn about the wider world beyond their local community. The childminder provides resources and talks to children about the importance of respecting similarities and differences between themselves and others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They are confident communicators and enjoy using words they have learned to express their thoughts and ideas. They have a good understanding of numbers and shapes. They can solve simple mathematical problems and explore the properties of different shapes. They have the key skills and attitudes that will help them to succeed as they move on to new settings, including school.
