Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder and her co- childminder have a good knowledge and understanding of how to keep children safe and whom to contact if there are concerns about their welfare. The childminder carries out regular checks throughout home to ensure a safe environment. She works effectively with her co-childminder to identify any areas for improvement. They share their knowledge and experience to secure continued improvements. Well-organised routines keep children safe and ensure the efficient operation of the provision. The childminder and her co-childminder network with other childminders to share positive practice and build on their good standards of care and teaching.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes accurate assessments of children's progress and uses the information effectively to plan for the next steps in their learning. She is well qualified and experienced. The childminder plans a wide range of stimulating experiences for children to help them make good progress in their learning. For example, during the inspection, older children enjoyed playing matching games. They listened carefully and followed the rules of the game, communicating well and describing what they saw on the individual cards. Children learn about the wider world. They visit the local park, nature reserves and social groups. The childminder talks to children as they play, promoting their communication skills. She praises their efforts, which helps to develop their self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Younger children develop good mobility skills as they play outdoors and confidently climb into wheeled toys. All children take responsibility for keeping the play areas tidy. They happily place toys in boxes after they have finished playing with them. The childminder develops children's understanding of hygiene routines well through daily routines. She encourages children to wash their hands before eating and after going to the toilet. The childminder provides children with lots of opportunities to be physically active outdoors in the garden. Children enjoy the fresh air and enjoy the challenge of climbing safely, using the slide and playhouse. They sleep in safety and comfort and benefit from their individual routines being met. This helps children to feel safe and secure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They develop many essential skills needed for the next stage of learning. For example, they learn to be respectful towards each other, share toys and help to tidy up. Children are motivated to learn and enjoy challenges. Older children enjoy small-group games, and discuss with each other how to win the game. They are motivated and keen learners who demonstrate a desire to learn new skills. Children are confident and have good social skills. They are learning the skills they need to move on to school and the next stage in their learning.
