p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder actively seeks the views of parents and children to support her in identifying how well her provision is meeting their needs. The responses are consistently positive. Parents state that their children are safe, happy and enjoy a good range of activities in the setting. Parents are kept well informed about their children's progress. The childminder has effective ways of collecting information about children's learning at home, which helps her to plan for their next steps. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder accesses appropriate training to ensure her knowledge of safeguarding is current. She knows the actions required if she has concerns about a child's welfare. There are relevant policies and procedures in place to ensure children's safety and care. Overall, the childminder supports her assistants well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have time to follow their particular interests during the day and demonstrate good levels of motivation. The childminder joins in with children's play at appropriate times to extend and enhance their learning. For example, she uses children's conversations about different fruits to talk about the types of food that are particularly healthy. Children are keen to show the childminder their packed lunches and talk about the contents. The childminder encourages children to develop independence in managing their self-care skills. Children listen carefully to learn how to handle tools, such as scissors and knives, safely. They show great pride when they have managed to complete an activity successfully. The childminder offers plenty of encouragement and praises their efforts.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form strong emotional attachments with the childminder and she is consistently responsive to all children. She plans the daily routine around the children's needs, which helps them feel secure. Children have regular opportunities to attend local groups where they meet new children and enjoy a range of activities. There are good opportunities to learn about different communities. For example, the childminder takes the children to a Chinese supermarket. The childminder ensures children have times during the day outside when they enjoy physical exercise and fresh air. The childminder works in close partnerships with other settings that children also attend, to maintain consistency in their care and learning needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress over time, including children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. They gain key skills and positive attitudes to learning that support their readiness for new challenges as they move to school. They have strong communication skills and are confident to share their thoughts and ideas. Children develop an understanding of the importance of regular exercise and healthy food.
