p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement
Safeguarding is effective. The childminder recognises the possible signs that indicate a child may be at risk from harm and knows the procedures to follow if she has any concerns. Risk assessments and other policies and procedures relating to health and safety are reviewed regularly. The childminder carries out regular fire evacuations with children. However, she has failed to keep a written record of medicines that have been administered to children. This is a breach of the welfare requirements. Nevertheless, this does not have a significant impact on children's safety or well-being. The childminder uses self-evaluation effectively. For example, she has identified the need to develop her outdoor area to create better access in the winter months and further support children's physical skills.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
The childminder interacts well with children. She understands how they learn and uses good questioning skills. This encourages children to think and work things out for themselves. For example, a child concentrates for a long period building a tower of bricks. The childminder asks 'what will happen if you build it high?' The child responds by saying 'fall down'. Children show high levels of self-esteem. The childminder regularly praises and encourages them in their efforts. For instance, during a mark-making activity, the childminder encourages a child to draw a circle. The child makes marks on the paper and is very proud of her achievement and shows it to the inspector. The childminder completes a baseline assessment when children first start so she can plan effectively for their future learning.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children are happy and have formed secure bonds with the childminder. She arranges visits before a child first starts to help them settle. This helps children feel emotionally secure. The childminder teaches children how to keep themselves healthy as she encourages them to wash their hands before they eat. She provides a variety of healthy snacks, meals and drinks. Children access the outdoors daily for fresh air and exercise, and go on regular outings enhancing their health and well-being. They behave very well and are beginning to understand rules and boundaries as they are encouraged to help tidy away the toys. The childminder provides daily feedback to parents about their child.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
Children confidently explore their surroundings and show high levels of concentration during activities. They use their imagination well. For example, a child shows empathy to a toy model as she tells the childminder he has hurt his leg and gives him a cuddle. Children are developing an understanding of mathematics as the childminder encourages them to count and categorise objects in everyday play. They make good progress from their starting points and are becoming well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
