p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of how to identify and report any concerns about the welfare of children in her care. She has broadened her understanding of wider safeguarding issues, including protecting children from extreme views and behaviour. She maintains links with her local authority to ensure her knowledge is up to date. The childminder keeps children safe by minimising any potential hazards in her home and on outings. She regularly evaluates her provision and makes changes to enhance her service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified childminder is skilful in supporting children's developing communication and language skills. She demonstrates this when she gets down to children's level as she speaks to them, pronounces her words clearly and gives children time to respond. The childminder comments on what children are doing to introduce new vocabulary. For instance, when playing alongside the children with water, she says 'splash' as she splashes the water. The childminder responds enthusiastically to babies as they babble. This urges babies to persist in making more sounds. Children's early literacy skills are fostered. For example, children independently access their favourite books and relish spending time pretending to read the words. The childminder naturally introduces numbers into children's play and everyday routines. An example of this is at snack time, when she counts with children as they cut bananas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children flourish in this stimulating and welcoming environment. They are highly motivated to explore the resources on offer and are confident to follow their own interests. For instance, children are eager to discover how to make animals go through the doors of farm buildings. The childminder enables children to develop their independence skills. For example, at snack time she encourages children to peel their own bananas and babies to feed themselves. Children enjoy frequent praise for their efforts and achievements. The childminder skilfully supports children as they learn to share. For instance, she sits on the floor with children and encourages them to take turns to roll a ball to each other. The childminder gives children gentle reminders of their behaviour as they play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They are enthusiastic learners and are eager to become involved in activities. Children develop their early mark-making skills. They independently choose their own colours and happily draw pictures onto paper plates. Children are developing a wide range of skills which will prepare them for their future learning.
