p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder completes safeguarding training to enhance her awareness of the potential risks to children. She is able to recognise when potential concerns about children's safety arise and works well with outside agencies to help keep children safe. She uses her knowledge of safeguarding procedures to correctly respond to and report concerns about children's welfare. The childminder has systems in place to help assure children's safety and health. She implements procedures, such as collection of children from school, effectively. The childminder responds well to the information she receives from parents about their children. For example, she seeks relevant training to develop her knowledge to help her support children to move forward in their development and build on their skills. This helps her to meet children's individual needs well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a range of activities that help children to understand nature and living things. For example, children enjoy checking the 'bug house' outdoors. They shriek with excitement when insects crawl from under logs. The childminder helps children to build on the skills they learn at school. This is demonstrated as she counts with children and helps them to recognise numerals. Children enjoy using their imaginations, such as when they engage in hairdresser role play. Children build on their physical skills as they play outdoors with their older friends. They learn about other cultures and communities during discussions about Chinese New Year. The childminder further develops the skills that children need for school. For instance, children use the small hand muscles needed for writing as they thread cereal hoops onto pipe cleaners.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's understanding of how to stay healthy. For example, children learn good hygiene habits as they wash their hands and eat healthy food that reflects their dietary needs. Children demonstrate their independence as they put on their coats before going outdoors. They follow instructions and show care and consideration for others, for instance, as they save snacks for absent friends. Children speak confidently with unfamiliar adults. The childminder helps to support children's understanding of how to keep themselves safe. She manages risks well. Children show through their discussions that they understand what is expected, such as when playing in communal outdoor areas.
