Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and understands wider issues around child protection. She knows the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder carries out regular risk assessments to help her provide a safe and secure environment for children. She manages her setting efficiently. The childminder monitors children's progress successfully and makes careful assessments of their learning and development. Any gaps in their learning are quickly identified and discussed with parents. This effectively builds strong relationships with parents. The childminder involves them in supporting their child at home to also promote their next steps in learning. She is committed to providing high- quality care and education for all children. She includes parents' views in her self- evaluation process to help her meet the needs of parents and children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder offers stimulating activities based around children's interests and supports their next steps in learning. She gets down to the children's level and is playful in her interactions. This motivates children to join in. For example, young children eagerly explore the wooden farm and animals. They show their understanding well as they place ducks on the blue area to represent water. Children show a good understanding of the world in which they live and reflect this in their imaginative play. The childminder provides lots of explanations for children about what she and they are doing, and demonstrates how to use items that children show an interest in. Children show an eagerness to investigate and learn how things work. They express their excitement and sense of achievement when they copy the childminder to blow a whistle. She introduces counting as children play to stimulate early mathematical language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly and are happy and relaxed in the childminder's home. The childminder builds children's confidence and self-esteem, giving meaningful praise for individual effort and good behaviour. Children willingly try new experiences. For example, they try a beaker of water to drink from and eagerly mop up any spillages. The childminder supports children's health and well-being very effectively. Children learn good hygiene routines.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They enjoy a wide range of activities and experiences. Children know where to find their favourite toys and make lots of independent decisions about their play. They thoroughly enjoy their time with the childminder, and develop good social skills and confidently interact with adults. Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their small-muscle skills in preparation for early writing. They handle tools, such as crayons with increasing control. Children develop a wide range of skills in preparation for the next stage in their learning and the eventual move on to school.
