p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the signs of potential abuse and the procedures to follow if she has any concerns regarding the safety of a child. The childminder recognises the impact that training has on practice and sources relevant courses. For example, through recent training, she has strengthened her knowledge and confidence in how to communicate with children in different ways. The childminder monitors the progress children make, to help her identify and address any gaps in development. She forms secure partnerships with staff at other settings that children attend. This helps to effectively support children's continuity in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Parents are closely involved in their child's development. They exchange information with the childminder that helps them to support their child's learning at home. The childminder provides a broad range of activities that follow children's interests overall. She repeats words and extends sentences during play, which helps to build on children's language and communication skills. The childminder supports an early understanding of personal safety. For example, she talks to children about how to cross roads safely as they engage in play. Children play cooperatively with each other and enthusiastically join in with action songs and rhymes. This helps to build on their confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a warm, welcoming environment where children feel happy and safe. She forms close relationships with children and is responsive to their individual needs. Children behave well. The childminder and her co-childminder lead by example. They are consistently polite and respectful, and encourage children to use good manners. The childminder encourages children to respect other people. Children enjoy visits in the local community and learn about people who are different from themselves. The childminder provides nutritious meals and snacks. She encourages young children to be healthy and supports them to eat well. Children show good independence skills. For example, they help the childminder with tasks, such as helping to prepare lunch.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress form their starting points. They listen well to instructions and learn to concentrate. Children enjoy choosing books for a story and understand that written words have a meaning. They display a positive sense of themselves and are confident when talking to visitors. Children explore simple forms of technology and find out how things work. They develop the skills to help prepare them well for school.
