Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder's knowledge and understanding of child protection are good. She is aware of possible indicators of abuse and the procedures to follow. The childminder carries out daily risk assessments to ensure that her home is safe and secure. She is aware of what presents a potential hazard to children and demonstrates a vigilant attitude to children's welfare. The childminder establishes good partnerships with parents and uses effective communication methods to share information about children. For example, children have electronic diaries and she records activities that they have enjoyed so that parents can continue these experiences at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a good variety of activities for the children to take part in. They are able to access resources and make independent choices in their play. The childminder carefully weaves children's interests into planned activities. This helps children to focus and enjoy their learning. Children enjoy their time spent outdoors and become involved in physical activities. For instance, they dance along to their favourite rhymes and enthusiastically join in with the actions. The childminder provides plenty of opportunities for children to practise existing mathematical skills, such as counting. For instance, a child helps the childminder prepare for snack and confidently counts how many plates they need.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children explore the well-organised and homely environment with confidence. They make independent choices in their play and show high levels of emotional well-being. They have good opportunities to participate in physical activities. For example, they use the small bikes in the childminder's garden. The childminder effectively supports children's understanding of how to behave well. She acts as a good role model and helps children to take turns, share and include others in their play. She uses positive strategies to manage children's behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and self-assured. They are inquisitive and show an increasing ability to concentrate well on activities. They are happy and settled, behave well and treat others with respect. Children make marks using a variety of materials. For example, they use a large white board to draw 'a big circle'. Children are eager to participate and this positive attitude supports their self-esteem and confidence.
