p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder regularly updates her safeguarding knowledge and fully understands her responsibilities to protect children in her care. She knows how to identify when children may be at risk of being exposed to extremist views. The childminder has a wide range of policies and procedures in place which underpin her good practice. She regularly assesses risks in all areas that children use, to help identify and remove any hazards. The childminder recognises the importance of professional development. She updates her skills and knowledge effectively, for example through research and attending training, to help improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with interesting activities that engage them in their learning. For instance, children explore the texture of pasta. They add additional resources, such as paint, into their play and gleefully observe the changes that occur. The childminder encourages children to develop their physical dexterity. For example, children mix and squeeze the mixture through their fingers. They use a range of tools, such as tongs, for a purpose to transport the mixture into different containers. The childminder uses mathematical language well to help children explore number, shape, size and quantity. She provides good opportunities for older children to develop their early reading skills, such as supporting them to recognise their name.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder provides gentle reminders to help them understand boundaries and acceptable behaviour. She is calm, patient and regularly praises children, which helps to promote their confidence and self-esteem. Children develop a good understanding of their local community. For example, they visit the library and take regular trips to different groups where they have opportunities to socialise with other children. The childminder supports children's physical and exploration skills well. For example, children enjoy regular visits to parks and local woodland. The childminder uses opportunities such as these to help children understand how to manage their personal safety. She supports children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, young children understand why they need to wash their hands before they eat.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are busy explorers throughout the day. They are developing positive attitudes towards learning key skills to help them be ready and prepared for the move on to nursery or school. Children have good opportunities to develop their creative skills. For instance, they experiment with writing tools to draw and think of ideas. Younger children discover how things work. They successfully use mechanical toys, which helps to develop their understanding of the world.
