p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands how to recognise possible indicators of abuse and keeps up to date with relevant training. She knows the correct procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder is organised and regularly updates her policies and procedures. This helps to contribute to the smooth running of her service. The childminder implements robust risk assessment procedures. Measures are in place to identify and minimise potential risks to children. She helps children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, they regularly practise fire evacuation procedures and learn what actions to take in the event of an emergency. The childminder monitors children's learning and plans accurate next steps in learning to help children achieve good outcomes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses observations of children well. She effectively assesses their learning to provide activities and resources that support children's interests. For example, children delight in exploring natural resources in the garden. The childminder provides children with clear verbal instructions to help them to understand how to complete activities and follow simple instructions. She effectively supports their language skills. For example, the childminder and her assistants engage children in songs and rhymes as they play. The childminder demonstrates good listening and attention skills and supports children to develop this aptitude. The childminder helps children to recognise similarities and differences between individuals. For instance, older children learn to care for babies. The childminder helps children to identify shapes and colours, and teaches them to count and learn about amounts.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with healthy food choices. She encourages them to try a range of fresh fruit and vegetables and helps them to develop healthy eating habits. The childminder gathers and shares detailed information daily with parents. This helps her to adapt children's care routines and support their emotional and physical well-being. She promotes children's healthy lifestyle well. The childminder ensures children have regular visits to the park and places of interests. She provides sufficient space for children to move about with ease, for example,to run, jump, crawl and ride bicycles. The childminder models politeness and respect for children. She encourages them to care their environment and toys and to take responsibility for their play. For example, they help to tidy up when activities are finished.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. Older children are confident to talk and express their own interests. Children are self-motivated and eager to learn. They focus well, are active learners and enjoy becoming involved in every activity that is made available to them. Older children learn about letters and the sounds they represent. Babies are curious and enjoy exploring and experimenting with the resources available. Children develop the necessary skills for the next stage in their learning and the eventual move on to school.
