p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

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. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder reflects on the service she provides and works effectively with other professionals to support children's learning and development. The childminder carefully teaches children how to keep themselves safe, for example, as they learn how to cross the road when on their regular local walks.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's mathematical learning. For example, she incorporates numbers, quantity and conversations about the value of money into a variety of activities. Children excitedly talk about books with the childminder and their speech and language skills develop well. She supports children who are learning English as an additional language effectively. Children learn to use simple technology as they press buttons on resources which show different numbers. The childminder supports children's physical well-being as they run, roll and play ball games. Children learn about the natural world. For instance, they listen carefully as the childminder talks about planting seeds and how they need soil and water to grow.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, they understand they need to wash their hands after playing outside and before eating the fruit they have for snack. They confidently manage their own risks, for instance, as they move independently and safely down steps. Children regularly explore their local area and learn about people whose lives may be different to their own. They enjoy a wide variety of celebrations and think about the different languages people speak. Children learn about their similarities and differences. The childminder nurtures children's emotional well-being and they behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and self-motivated. They enjoy their learning and activities. For example, children gaze captivated as they watch sunlight reflecting off the water they are playing with, and watch it carefully as it sparkles and shines. They delight in experimenting, for instance, as they think about about magnets while using a train set. Children use their developing imaginations as they engage in role play and pretend to hold a tea party. They are keen to share their learning and happily play ball games with others. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning.
