p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the signs and symptoms that may give her cause for concern about the welfare of a child in her care. She knows the procedure to follow if she has any concerns. She has made herself aware of how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder works effectively with other professionals to improve her practice, for example to support and enhance children's learning experiences. The childminder carries out regular risk assessment and uses these effectively to help her keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children delight in a wide range of interesting activities and resources. They are supported in becoming independent learners. The childminder carefully extends children's learning, for instance, as she provides them with time to complete activities to their own satisfaction. The very youngest children enjoy exploratory experiences and squeal with excitement as they experiment with different textures and materials. They become transfixed as they use resources which make sounds as they press buttons. Children are supported in learning about simple technology. The childminder follows children's immediate interests and enriches activities, for example, as she changes the tone and volume of her voice. She effectively supports children's emerging speech and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy spending time with the childminder and behave well. They are confident in their relationships with her and turn to her for help and comfort, if needed. Children delight in opportunities to learn about making decisions. For example, they excitedly choose what they want to eat during a trip to a local restaurant. They learn social skills. The childminder nurtures children's physical well-being. Children learn about leading a healthy lifestyle while eating a variety of fruit and vegetables. They enjoy running and playing in local green spaces. The childminder teaches them how to stay safe and well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and self-motivated. They enjoy each other's company and caring for each other. For example, older children delight in helping to care for the very youngest. Children use their mathematical learning as they weigh and measure as they bake. They practise their early literacy skills as they write their names and simple words. Children enjoy music and spontaneously move in different ways while listening to their favourite tunes and rhythms. They are prepared well for the next stage of their learning, including school.
