p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder demonstrates a good knowledge of the potential signs and symptoms of abuse. She knows the procedure to follow to report any concerns relating to children's safety and welfare. Children's safety is further promoted because the childminder ensures that the environment is safe and secure. The childminder attends relevant early years forums, networks with other childminders and accesses some training to keep her skills up to date, such as safeguarding and first aid. This has a positive impact on the quality of care she provides. The childminder keeps check on children's progress and the activities they take part in. This helps children to make good progress in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly reviews children's development to check that they are making good progress and plans effectively for their next steps in learning. She recognises that children learn well through play and uses these opportunities to support children's counting and number recognition. For example, they count how many cups of flour they need to make dough and pick out the number cutter that represents their age. Children particularly enjoy creative and imaginative play. They delight in colouring, drawing and using glue and sticky tape to make pictures. The childminder provides good encouragement for children to think things through for themselves and solve problems. For example, she asks questions that encourage them to think about what they could use to stop the card from wobbling. The childminder interacts positively with children and effectively promotes children's speaking skills through discussions. For example,

children confidently chat about their day and their recent birthday party.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate a strong and trusting bond with the childminder, which promotes their well-being. Children behave well because they are kept fully engaged in their play and are supported well by the childminder. Her good role modelling and meaningful discussions about acceptable behaviour help children to understand right from wrong. Good arrangements are in place to support children's health, well-being and physical development. Children have regular opportunities to enjoy fresh air on walks to interesting places in the community, such as local parks or woodland. This helps to promote children's growing knowledge and understanding of the world. The childminder encourages children to take responsibility in managing their own self-care needs and extends their independence well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are well prepared for school and future life. Children express themselves and communicate clearly. They listen to the childminder and follow directions. Children develop their literacy skills as they read and retell stories. They enjoy writing their name in flour and use pens and pencils to draw and colour. Children's independence is good and their confidence is high. They instigate their own play as they choose what they would like out. Children show great patience and perseverance as they use glue and sticky tape to join pieces of card together.
