Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant are aware of the signs or symptoms which may be a cause for concern and know how to pass information on. They are also aware of wider safeguarding issues to protect children from harm. The childminder monitors the work of her assistant effectively, so that the assistant is aware of her role and responsibilities. The childminder monitors children's progress effectively. She reviews children's next steps in learning regularly and uses her observations well, to identify and close any gaps in learning successfully. The childminder uses research effectively to gather new ideas to extend children's learning. She has increased children's opportunities to enjoy imaginative play. For example, children practise their early writing skills as they take food orders and take it in turn to serve drinks to the customers in the pretend coffee shop.

learning further, such as displaying posters and photographs of the children, which gives them a strong sense of belonging.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder ensures resources are easily accessible and supports children well in their activities. She interacts with the children effectively and plays at their level. For example, children enjoy using the play dough. They skilfully use tools, such as scissors, rolling pins, cutters and wooden letters. Children pretend to make cakes and sing happy birthday to their friends as they take it in turns to use the resources. Children enjoy many opportunities to engage in role play. For example, they use their senses well to explore and investigate different food in the Chinese takeaway. They learn new words, such as noodles and chopsticks, as they feel the different textures of the foods.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistant use praise effectively to support children's learning and boost their confidence successfully. Children's behaviour is good. They learn to respect one another and play harmoniously together. The childminder teaches children to be independent. They help to prepare their snack by cutting up fruit and pouring milk from a jug into a cup. Children learn to follow good hygiene routines and enjoy many opportunities to take part in exciting outings to the woods, lakes and the beach, where they develop good physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a wide range of skills which support them well in the next stage of their development and starting school. Young children develop good listening skills. For example, they listen well to instructions, enjoy moving their bodies in time to music and completing actions to songs, developing good coordination. Children practise their early writing skills and older children begin to recognise letters and the sounds that they represent.
