Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. 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. The childminder carefully risk assesses and creates effective strategies to help her keep children safe. For example, she ensures all adults living on the premises have the appropriate checks carried out. The childminder regularly updates her skills and knowledge. She uses her learning effectively, for instance, to enhance how she assesses children's progress.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy using toys which light up and make sounds as they press buttons. They are supported in learning about simple technology. The childminder provides a range of activities which enable children to develop their physical skills. The youngest children use resources which support their early walking, and older children practise using simple tools. The childminder provides parents with ideas and information about how they can extend their children's learning at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning. The childminder encourages children to develop their creativity. They use paint, make patterns and draw pictures. Children proudly point to their work displayed on the walls. They gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's social skills. For example, they learn to play in larger groups of children as they attend local drop-in groups. They are keen to share their play and resources with each other and offer to help other children during activities. Children learn about their local community, people whose experiences may be different to their own and the wider world. For example, they listen carefully as the childminder explains about the farms and animals which produce the milk they drink. Children's emotional well-being is nurtured. They are happy, settled and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy exploratory activities. For example, they flatten play dough, stretch and tear it, and use it to make their favourite shapes. The youngest children delight in banging small pots and pans, and experimenting with the different sounds they can make. Children use their emerging mathematical knowledge to name shapes and complete simple puzzles. Children confidently direct their own activity and learning. They are self-motivated and eager learners. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning.
