p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of how to identify signs that a child is at risk of harm. She knows the correct procedure to follow if she has any concerns about the welfare of a child. The childminder maintains good standards of safety in her home and on outings. This keeps children secure and helps them to learn about staying safe. The childminder has good relationships with parents. She obtains parents' views to help her make ongoing improvements. Parents are very positive about the service provided by the childminder. The childminder is exceptionally well organised. All records are easily accessible and readily available. This ensures safe, efficient management of the setting and helps meet children's individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes good use of the settling-in period to understand what children know and can do. She works closely with parents to find out about children's interests and gather information before they start. The childminder regularly observes children as they play. She uses these observations to make accurate assessments of children's learning. The childminder has a good understanding of each child's developmental stage and needs. She plans children's learning effectively. The childminder understands how to support children's overall learning with a broad range of activities. For example, children further their early writing skills when they thread beads and enjoy messy play. This develops the small muscles they need to hold a pencil. Children respond well to the childminder's gentle manner and skilled questioning as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder meets children's emotional needs well. Children develop strong bonds with the childminder and their peers. The childminder helps children to understand the importance of caring for toys and resources. Children respond positively and help to tidy up. The childminder uses positive praise to reinforce children's good behaviour. Children get plenty of opportunities to play with larger groups of children at playgroups, the library and local parks. The childminder works with other childminders to plan a range of group activities. For example, children enjoyed a forest walk and saw animals at a local farm. Activities such as this help children to learn about the wider world beyond their own community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They are working within the typical range of development for their age. Children learn to share toys and to consider the needs of others. They develop high self-esteem and positive self-confidence. Children learn to manage tasks for themselves to build their independence. For example, they freely access water and choose which toys to play with throughout the day. Children gain the skills they need to support the next stage in their learning, including starting school.
