Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the safeguarding requirements and what procedures to follow if she has any concerns regarding children's welfare. She keeps up to date with training and changes to legislation. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is skilled at using knowledge gained during training to inform her practice. Children benefit from well-planned activities that help to progress their learning further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides good-quality activities that help children to progress with their learning and development. She uses children's interests and next steps in learning to inform her planning. Children develop good problem-solving skills. They work with the childminder to complete number puzzles. The childminder teaches children to count numbers to see what comes next and to match these to the number lines. This helps children to learn early mathematical skills. The childminder works closely with parents. They share children's progress at home as well as their interests. For example, the childminder suggested increasing the reading at home with the children. She stated, 'Children's language has greatly increased in the last couple of weeks.' This helps to provide good continuity of care and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a secure bond with the childminder. They settle quickly, ready to start their learning. Children regularly check back in with the childminder, receiving cuddles of reassurance. This helps to support children's self-esteem and confidence in trying new activities. The childminder teaches children well about their own safety and that of others. Children learn how to handle toys safely and put them away after activities to prevent trip hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning and subsequent move to school. Children thoroughly enjoy learning new words and letter sounds. Young children play cards and sound out letters as they turn cards over. This helps them to develop their literacy skills. Children enjoy developing their imagination skills. They role play and talk through what they are 'cooking'. This also develops their language skills. Children make good progress from their starting points.
