p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has undertaken suitable training to enhance her understanding of safeguarding and wider child protection issues. She is fully aware of the signs that may suggest children and their families are potentially at risk from extreme views and ideas. Overall, her self-evaluation is good. The childminder uses her knowledge well to continually reflect on her practice and ensure children have good- quality learning opportunities. The childminder's partnership working is effective. She involves parents in children's learning and regularly updates them on their child's progress. Parents report that they are very happy with the quality of care that their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well. She provides activities and resources that she knows children will enjoy, based on their interests. For example, children are immersed in their role play as they express their ideas and develop their imaginations. Children's mathematical development is well supported through planned and purposeful activities. For example, children eagerly match wooden shapes and are able to recognise their colour. The childminder regularly uses opportunities to extend children's learning. For instance, children use their small-muscle skills to draw around the shapes they have been playing with. The childminder carries out regular observations of children and uses this information to monitor and assess their individual progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The experienced childminder is a good role model to children. She demonstrates the importance of being kind and respectful. She offers gentle reminders to children to use their manners and share resources. Children respond well to the childminder's warm and positive approach, which promotes their emotional well-being. Children are taught to independently manage their self-care, such as blowing their noses and washing their hands before snack. Children demonstrate a good awareness of safety and are able to assess risk for themselves. For example, children can identify the hot water tap by the red sticker and know to only use the cold tap. The childminder provides children with opportunities to learn about the local community. For example, children enjoy attending local playgroups and a toy library to further enrich their learning and development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning. They are sociable, happy and enjoy learning. Children independently access a good selection of resources. This helps them to be actively engaged and motivated in their play. Children listen to stories with intent and giggle with delight as they sing their favourite songs and rhymes. Overall, children develop the skills they need to move on in their learning, including their eventual move to school.
