Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder and her assistant keep up to date with changes in childcare legislation. They fully understand the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder supervises children well. She ensures risks in the home and on outings are minimised, to keep children safe from harm. The childminder supports her assistant well. For example, she provides him with regular training, mentoring and coaching to help him evaluate the impact of his teaching. The childminder continually strives to improve her professional development. For example, targeted training on how children learn outdoors has increased her knowledge and maintained children's good outcomes. The childminder has established links with a range of other professionals, to help support consistency in children's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder completes regular observations and assessments of children's learning. Overall, she uses this information to plan for children's ongoing learning. The childminder supports children's language skills well. For example, she helps them to recall prior learning, praises their attempts to form words, and models new vocabulary, such as 'watermelon' and 'aubergine'. The childminder encourages children's excursions into imaginary worlds. Children have great fun as they pretend to go fishing, become shop keepers and talk on the toy telephone. The childminder helps children to test out their early design ideas. For example, children delight in building houses and roads from blocks. The childminder teaches children to develop their senses. Children enjoy exploring different textures with their fingers. They have much fun with sand, water and natural objects.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form secure and emotional attachments with the childminder and her assistant. They are kind and caring, and children settle quickly. Children demonstrate a sense of ownership of their environment, confidently tidying away resources that are easily available to them. The childminder provides children with daily fresh air and physical exercise. Children take great delight in planting vegetables and looking for bugs in their compost. The childminder teaches children about traditions, similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, children learn about a range of festivals, such as Easter and Diwali.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children develop the key skills needed for the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school. They are independent, inquisitive and sociable. Children begin to write independently. They enjoy identifying letters and write their names. Children develop their understanding of technology. They excitedly press buttons on interactive toys and show their delight when they produce a range of sounds.
