p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder provides children with a safe and secure environment. She undertakes regular risk assessments to help ensure the areas used by children are free from hazards. The childminder is aware of the procedures to follow if she has a concern about a child's welfare. She works closely with other childminders, which supports her in developing her knowledge and skills, and she continually monitors her practice. This helps her to maintain good outcomes for children. The childminder has successfully addressed the recommendations from her last inspection. For example, she plans specifically to meet children's individual learning needs. She enables children to develop their creative and mathematical skills well. Parents express their long-standing appreciation of the contribution the childminder makes to their children's lives.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has established effective procedures for observing children's abilities and planning their next steps in learning. She plans interesting and enjoyable activities to meet children's identified goals, drawing on their individual interests. Parents are actively encouraged to contribute their views about their children's learning and development. Children confidently initiate their own play and use their imagination well. For instance, they use a toy waggon to skilfully try and transport themselves around. The childminder helps children to learn about different insects, and reads stories the children know and enjoy to help them understand. She interacts very well with children and encourages their listening and attention skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is responsive and enthusiastic in her manner. She celebrates children's achievements through praise and compliments which help to elevate their self-esteem. Children are provided with opportunities to be active and to make healthy choices, for instance through discussions about different fruits and their taste. The childminder is skilled at promoting children's knowledge of right and wrong, and manages children's behaviour effectively. For example, she talks calmly and sensitively with children and helps them to understand how their actions may affect others. The childminder uses the local community well to extend children's learning, and provides ample experiences for them to socialise and develop wider relationships.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and are working within expectations for their age. Children are happy, secure and confident, and form strong relationships with their peers and the childminder. They enjoy learning and thrive on the praise and encouragement they receive when learning new skills. Children develop early mathematical skills, such as the value of numbers, amounts and size. Older children develop good independence in their self-care and they manage tasks, such as toileting and washing their hands, independently. Younger children develop in confidence and become curious learners. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and eventually school.
