p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to keep children safe, including maintaining a safe and secure environment for them to play and learn in. The childminder keeps her safeguarding knowledge up to date through regular training. She knows how to identify if a child is at risk of harm and the correct procedures to follow if she has any concerns about the welfare of a child. The childminder is exceptionally well organised. All records are easily accessible and readily available. This helps to ensure safe and efficient management of the setting and helps to meet children's individual needs well. The childminder regularly evaluates her setting effectively and makes changes that have a positive impact on children. For instance, she has made changes to the garden to develop children's mathematical learning, to help support children who prefer to learn outside.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with a good range of toys, resources and activities, which motivate their play. She has a good understanding of children's individual interests and abilities and builds on their learning well. For instance, as older children decorate boxes for Mother's Day gifts, the childminder teaches children about the names of the shaped gemstones they use. The childminder promotes children's physical skills well. For example, she provides children with pencils and helps to develop their small-muscle hand skills as they confidently colour and draw. The childminder makes accurate observations and assessments of children's learning. She monitors their overall progress well and shares this information with parents regularly. Parents comment positively about how the childminder keeps them up to date with their children's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop warm, trusting relationships with the childminder and are happy and content in her care. The childminder helps children to learn about the wider world effectively. For instance, she teaches children about different cultural festivals through play experiences. The childminder supports children's health and well-being effectively. She provides them with healthy meals and snacks and adapts menus to meet the differing needs of children exceptionally well. Children benefit from plenty of opportunities to be physically active. For instance, as they play in the garden, younger children confidently learn how to climb the steps to the slide and how to push themselves along in the ride-in car.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They gain skills that prepare them well for their next stage in learning. Children concentrate well in activities that interest them. They gain good listening skills and older children speak confidently to express their needs. Younger children develop good physical coordination skills. For instance, they confidently use spoons to feed themselves. Older children learn how to put on their coats and boots to get ready to go outside. They confidently manage to wash mud from their hands when they return indoors and understand the importance of tidying away toys, to keep their environment safe.
