p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and knows who to contact and what to do if she has a concern about a child's welfare. She regularly evaluates her practice and reflects on ways to enhance her provision. For example, she asks parents to complete questionnaires and carries out evaluations on activities she plans for the children. The childminder is committed to professional development and attends training courses to update her knowledge. She works in partnership with professionals, to provide consistency in children's care, learning and development. For example, she holds meetings and shares information with professionals and new parents, so children settle well when they first attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a wide range of resources and plans the environment. She follows individual children's interests. This encourages children to be active learners and to make independent choices about what they would like to play with. The childminder completes regular observations and assessments of children's learning. She uses the information she gathers to monitor children's progress closely. Additional funding for children is used effectively to narrow the gap in their learning. The childminder shares children's progress and next steps with parents. The childminder supports children's communication and language development well. For instance, she extends children's learning using textured books. She introduces new words to describe the different materials children feel as they use their senses to explore. Young children enjoy choosing their favourite books. They imitate the sounds of animals as they turn the pages in the

elephant book. The childminder is caring and attentive. She interacts with children and provides them with good opportunities to solve problems. For instance, children enjoy imaginative play and developing their skills to manage keys and locks as they use a shopping till.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and are confident in the daily routine. They listen to the childminder and respond positively when asked to help to tidy up, for example, before moving to the next part of the day, or when too many toys make the environment cluttered. The childminder promotes a healthy diet and physical exercise. Children access fresh air and outdoor play every day. The childminder makes good use of the local area to support children's social development and understanding of the world around them. Children enjoy trips to the library, playgroups and parks. The childminder regularly praises children and they develop strong emotional bonds with her, which strongly nurtures their well-being. Young children learn basic mathematical concepts and learn how to be gentle and share with others. For example, children share out toy food between dolls and themselves to make sure everyone has something to 'eat'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and eager to participate in activities. They make good progress from their starting points. They acquire a range of key skills in preparation for the next stage in their development and the move to school. For example, young children develop their independence and self-help skills as they learn to feed themselves.
