Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of how to protect children and knows what to do if she has any concerns about their welfare. The childminder has well-established procedures in place to manage and minimise risks and creates a safe and secure space for children to play. She recognises the impact that professional development has on practice and ensures that all required training is up to date. The childminder has established good partnerships with parents. She keeps parents well informed about their children's care and learning each day through photographs and an online diary.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder completes regular and precise assessments of children's progress and has a good understanding of each child's developmental stage and needs. She provides a range of interesting activities for children to experience, such as planting seeds. Children remain engaged for some time as they fill their pots with soil, choose what seeds they wish to plant, add water and write labels. They return to fill more pots, showing good levels of enthusiasm. The childminder joins in with children's imaginary play as they create 'meals' in the mud kitchen and tell her to sit down for dinner. She supports children to develop a love for books and stories as she reads enthusiastically and readily agrees to read again when they say they want another story.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder places a strong focus on children's health, safety and emotional well- being. Her interactions with children are warm and positive. Children demonstrate that they feel secure in her care as they snuggle up next to her to listen to a story. Children are provided with ample opportunities to be active, which contributes to their good physical health. They enjoy developing their self-help and personal hygiene skills and benefit from healthy, nutritious meals. Meal times are a nice, social occasion as the childminder sits with the children and they talk about the activities they have participated in.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are interested and motivated to learn. They count confidently and demonstrate age-appropriate mathematical learning. Children show good imagination and enjoy recalling what happens in their favourite stories. They are supported well by the childminder to develop early writing skills. All children make good progress and gain suitable skills to help prepare them for their future learning, including school.
