p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of her role in protecting children in her setting and in the wider community. Risk assessments are undertaken to enable her to identify and minimise dangers and children are supervised at all times. The childminder completes ongoing training to help her improve her provision and the outcomes for children. For example, she uses her learning from a course about developing children's speech to help her strengthen their language acquisition. Guidance documents and development trackers are used successfully to help the childminder monitor children's progress and identify if there are gaps in their learning. She then takes the necessary steps to help them achieve well. The childminder evaluates her practice and welcomes parents and children's feedback to help her improve the provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and plans experiences that interest them and are designed specifically to meet their individual learning needs. For example, she knows that children enjoy being outdoors and facilitates this well. The childminder promotes children's thinking and understanding by asking pertinent questions and giving them time to respond. She uses her plentiful resources, such as books and music to promote learning in all areas. The learning environment, including the outdoor area is well planned and highly stimulating. It sparks children's curiosity as they investigate, make plans and solve problems.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are clearly happy and comfortable in the setting. They approach the childminder with much affection and enthusiastically greet members of her family as they pass by the playroom. Overall, behaviour is managed well. The childminder praises children for their attempts and achievements, which helps to raise their self-esteem and confidence. Children are learning how to share and take turns. They respond positively when asked to help with tasks, such as tidying up after play. The childminder provides nutritious meals and snacks, and good standards of cleanliness are maintained to reduce the risk of cross-infection. Additionally, the childminder provides lots of opportunities for children to engage in physical activities and play outdoors. Consequently, children's health is promoted and they learn about the importance of exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children have a positive attitude towards learning and are keen to try to do things for themselves. For example, they enthusiastically make Valentine's Day presents and confidently make decisions about which resources they are going to use. They are increasingly independent and able to manage tasks, such as their personal care. As they play, they knowledgeably count and discuss size and shape. They are very interested in technology and become skilful in using different equipment. They know to press the keys to make things appear on a laptop computer screen and confidently request the voice- activated speaker to play their favourite songs.
