p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has knowledge of child protection and wider safeguarding issues. She knows how to report any concerns, including allegations made against herself or members of her household, to the relevant authorities. The childminder obtains information from parents at the start of children's placement to help identify their starting points. She is clear about individual children's allergies, needs and interests. The childminder works closely with parents to plan what children should do next to help with their development, and encourages parents to extend children's learning at home. The childminder completes regular checks to ensure that her home is safe for children. She supports them to develop an awareness of hazards and how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children's learning well. She uses this information to provide interesting activities for children's play, to keep them fully engaged and to support their development. For example, young children use their senses to explore materials, such as pasta. They show curiosity as they feel, pick up and hold the spaghetti before they taste and practise chewing. The childminder offers positive encouragement and reassurance to help younger children persevere during the activity. The childminder supports them to develop their communication and language skills well. For example, she encourages young children to be vocal and to use good eye contact, facial expressions and body language to express themselves.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly and easily. They develop close bonds and attachments with the childminder. They show interest in the opportunities available and display a strong sense of security within her care. Younger children are happy and they know when to seek support from the childminder. They welcome and value her support during their play. The childminder provides flexible daily routines that meet individual children's needs. She provides healthy food, milk and water. The childminder ensures children hands are clean at appropriate times and they have a comfortable place to sleep and rest between play activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop the skills they need for their future learning and the eventual move to school. For example, young children learn to grasp and handle small objects and musical resources successfully. They practise different body movements, such as waving their hands or holding up their fingers as the childminder counts. Young children learn to crawl and walk with support. They listen and copy the childminder's actions and sounds effectively.
