Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has evaluated her practice and made improvements to achieve good quality provision for children. She has a good knowledge of safeguarding procedures. The childminder keeps children safe and secure in her care. She understands how to protect children against extreme views of other people who may lead them into unsafe situations. The childminder knows how to report any concerns she may have for a child. She would not hesitate to notify the relevant authorities to protect children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps statutory training up to date, including paediatric first aid.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes and assesses childrens development and monitors their progress right from the start. She works in partnership with the nursery and school that children also attend to help provide a consistent approach for their learning. Children make consistently good progress from their starting points. The childminder follows children's interests and during their play challenges their learning. For example, she helps children to count beyond 10 and to add on two more while they play with a dolls house and the play people. The childminder builds on children's interests. For example, on the way home from nursery children saw a rainbow and used coloured pens to capture the different colours in their picture.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to develop close bonds with her. Children are independent and happily explore the good range of resources and activities the childminder provides. The childminder keeps parents up to date with their children's care and development, including the use of a diary to share special moments. The childminder encourages children to do things for themselves. For example, she gives them guidance to push their feet into the front of a sock and put their heel at the back. The childminder offers good explanations that help children to understand the rules and boundaries.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a good vocabulary. They confidently talk about their family members and where they live. Children recall family traditions, such as receiving presents for birthdays and Father Christmas coming through a magic door because there is no chimney. They are imaginative, curious and motivated to learn. Children engage enthusiastically in creative activities with glitter, glue and sequins. They learn to screw the tops on tubes and undo them again and use spatulas to spread and mix colours. Children follow good hygiene routines, for example, they wash off the sticky glue. Children are polite and behave well.
