p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder ensures her knowledge is up to date and is fully aware of her responsibilities to keep children safe. She is confident with the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder is keen to continue to improve her professional practice. She carries out regular research and discusses good practice with other childminders to continually find new ways to support children's learning. For example, she has recently implemented new ideas to enhance children's interest in books and found further ways to extend children's sensory experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly reviews children's progress and plans effectively for the next steps in their learning. She is responsive to individual interests. This helps children to be continuously well engaged. For example, the childminder quickly provided additional resources as children pretended to cook, which helped to extend their imaginative play. Children request music and dance excitedly together, developing a good sense of rhythm and coordination. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to develop their early literacy skills. For example, she provides lively singing and quality story times for them. Younger children confidently sing familiar songs throughout the day and older children learn to join in and retell familiar stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is attentive to children's individual needs. She supports their emotional well-being through warm and affectionate care. Children are happy and confident, and they develop strong bonds with the childminder. The childminder promotes children's healthy lifestyles effectively. For instance, they regularly visit an allotment to learn how vegetables grow and enjoy tasting a range of vegetables they have harvested. Trips to places such as local nature reserves, farms and play areas help to provide opportunities for physical exercise. The childminder supports children to learn about their own and other cultures and communities. For example, parents are invited to share their own culture, bringing in different food for children to taste. Children enjoy making a map of the local area and develop an understanding about the community in which they live.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. They develop skills and positive attitudes that prepare them well for their future education. Children demonstrate excellent concentration and perseverance. For example, they spent a long time exploring marks made by water on a mat until the whole mat was covered. They develop independence and confidence in their own abilities, such as tidying away after play and putting on their coats and shoes.
