p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has attended relevant training and is aware of what to do if she has any concerns about a child's welfare. There are good arrangements in place to determine her assistant's suitability and she ensures they complete relevant training to help safeguard children. She is conscientious about safety and her supervision of children. She successfully teaches children how to keep themselves safe, such as when crossing the road. The childminder completes regular observations on children and monitors their development effectively. She uses this information to identify any gaps in their development and implement plans to support them to progress further. She shares this information with parents so that they feel involved in their children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to promote children's learning and development. She provides good opportunities for children to complete simple tasks to help develop their independence. For example, children use dressing up clothes to help them to develop skills in dressing and undressing themselves. She regularly observes them during play to find out what they can do and plan for their next steps. She uses children's curiosity to develop their skills further. For example, as children look at books, she asks them to count how many monkeys they can see in the picture to help develop their early understanding of numbers and counting. Children make choices from a variety of resources. Toddlers enjoy exploring animals in books and during small world play. The childminder uses these interests to help extend their language and communication. For instance, she names the animals and sings songs including animal sounds. Toddlers

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy lots of attention and form positive relationships with the childminder. The childminder provides a range of opportunities to support children's physical well-being and good health. Children benefit from healthy nutritious meals and take part in physical activities, such as visits to the park and sponsored walks to raise money for charity. The childminder acts as a good role model and sets clear boundaries to guide children's behaviour. For example, simple house rules such as respecting the environment and being kind and caring towards others, helps children to learn to value and respect their surroundings and their friends.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and are working comfortably within the range of development expected of them for their age. They develop the skills they need in readiness for their move to preschool and school. For example, they happily choose what they want to play with and follow good hygiene routines.
