Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder works well with parents and uses similar strategies to those used at home to manage some children's challenging behaviour. For instance, the childminder talks through issues with children to explain how their behaviour may be unreasonable. Safeguarding is effective.

The childminder shares information with her assistant regularly and effectively advises of any changes in practice or guidelines. The childminder is reflective and continually looks at ways to improve her practice. She seeks the views of parents, her assistant and children effectively to help identify improvements.

strengthened the quality of teaching to ensure that all activities and interactions fully challenge children to help them reach the highest possible outcomes.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder encourages children's mathematical development effectively. For example, she teaches older children to estimate how many times a ball will bounce and younger children learn to identify and name colours. Children learn problem-solving skills. For instance, children showed perseverance as they tried successfully to untangle a toy guitar with a plug in wire. The childminder extends vocabulary well. For example, she explains how a microphone makes your voice louder. Children develop good literacy skills. For instance, they make their own words up and sing made-up songs. The childminder teaches children skills to prepare them for school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder effectively supports children's understanding of how to keep safe. She teaches them to be mindful as they use scissors and to be aware of younger children and their safety. She is a good role model and children's behaviour is good. Children are beginning to be aware of the feelings of others. For example, an older children bumped into a younger child and immediately said sorry. The childminder is kind and caring and has a welcoming and safe environment. She teaches children about health and the negative effect too much sugar can have on teeth. She supports children to begin to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children play well together. They learn to take turns and share. Children develop good physical skills as they play in the garden, visit the park and woods or develop their skills as they negotiate the balance beam. Children dance and move to music, they join in with action songs and rhymes and sing happily. Children express themselves successfully. They have lots of opportunities to learn about the natural world. For example, they learn that a walrus has tusks. Children make good progress from their starting points.
