achieve tasks. n The childminder does not make best use of the opportunity to support parents to move their children on to their next phase of learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder uses risk assessment effectively to consider the safety of the environment. Effective policies and procedures contribute to the consistent approach to meeting the needs of the children attending. The childminder attends safeguarding training to keep her knowledge up to date and she is experienced and well qualified. As a result, children are safe and well cared for. The childminder evaluates the setting by thorough consultation with parents on a regular basis. She uses the information she receives to reflect and consider changes to make improvements where appropriate.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the quality of teaching is good. The childminder makes regular assessment which shows children are making good progress. She provides a range of appropriate activities for children, in line with their interests. As a result, children are motivated to take part in activities and learn. The childminder uses observation to carefully plan experiences to build on what children already know. For example, she uses a range of animal figures with children to encourage them to match colours and count. She asks questions and models language skilfully, giving time for children to formulate a response. Assessment is used effectively to plan and move children on to their next stages in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder successfully promotes children's physical health and uses facilities in the local area daily, indoors and outdoors, for children to develop their skills further. Children are supported to learn about tolerance, acceptance and respect in the setting and are helped to share and take turns as a part of the daily routines. Children behave well and are helped to understand as they are praised for positive behaviour. The childminder listens effectively to children as they confidently choose the activity they wish to take part in. She ensures that resources are easily accessed by children which promotes independence skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children show high levels of involvement in play that stimulates them. For example, children use resources from a doll's house taking time and problem solving to build an extended slide for the dolls to enter the house. Children develop skills for communication well and are able to express their needs, likes and dislikes. Children are able to listen and understand, which helps them to manage their own behaviour. Children progress well, and they acquire the skills they need for their next stage of their learning and eventual move on to school.
