Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibilities. She effectively promotes children's safety, welfare and learning. She follows good health and hygiene practices.

This helps to minimise the risk of accidents and keep children safe. The childminder has a good awareness of child protection issues. She understands the procedures to follow if she has any concerns about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder consistently demonstrates good teaching skills. She works closely with parents to gather information about children's achievements before they start attending. She takes account of the children's interests, needs and backgrounds, to provide appropriate support for them. This includes support for children who speak English as additional language. For example, she uses the children's enjoyment of play dough to teach them about size, shape and counting, and effectively develops children's creative skills. The learning environment is well organised, allowing children space to explore a wide range of resources and activities. The childminder monitors children's progress well and gives parents ideas to support children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well cared for and are happy and confident. The childminder knows children well and adapts her care to each child's individual needs. The childminder is a good role model and helps children to learn about positive behaviour. Children behave well and have the confidence to speak about their needs and ideas. The childminder's gentle and calm approach helps children learn to manage their behaviour and supports their emotinal well-being. The childminder encourages children to learn about the importance of healthy eating and teaches them how to maintain their own physical health. For example, she provides fresh fruit, healthy snacks and lots of opportunities to play outdoors, to develop children's fitness and physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children display a positive attitude to learning. They gain a range of good skills to support them with the next stages of their learning. Children develop good social skills and confidence. They interact well with other children and visitors in different situations, for example, when they attend local children's groups. They are keen and motivated learners who gain good early reading, writing and mathematical skills.
