p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder and her assistants understand the signs and symptoms that may give them cause for concern about the welfare of a child in their care. They know the procedure to follow if they have any concerns. The childminder has made herself, and her assistants, aware of how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder carries out regular risk assessments and uses these effectively to keep children safe. The childminder provides her assistants with the skills and knowledge they need to carry out their work, for example, through regular training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder skilfully supports children's mathematical learning. Children think about shape and size during a wide variety of activities. For example, they excitedly talk about the shapes of the different fruit they eat at snack time. Children enjoy exploring the natural world. For example, they grow plants and learn about different animals, birds, insects and the weather. Parents praise the childminder and say that their children make good progress. They are given ideas about what they can do at home and children benefit from the continuity in their learning. The childminder supports children's physical development well. For example, children delight in moving in different ways as they balance, jump and roll.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy carrying out simple, manageable tasks. For example, they ask to help to set out activities and eagerly join in with putting away resources when they have finished using them. Children benefit from exciting opportunities to learn about people who help keep them safe. For instance, they enjoy a visit from the local police. Children learn about the local community and people whose experiences may be different to their own during their regular local walks. The childminder constantly supports children's independence. Children behave well and are eager to learn.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are friendly, sociable and self-confident. They enjoy their learning. For example, children gasp with delight as they watch different coloured lights flashing in the dark during an exploratory activity. They excitedly use simple technology as they press buttons on resources to create a variety of sounds and movements. Children are persistent and practise new skills until they master them. For instance, they fit different puzzle shapes into a board and gain deep satisfaction when they achieve their goal. They use their emerging literacy to share books and stories with each other. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning, including school.
