Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands how to keep children safe from harm. She monitors the work of her assistants, and offers them the opportunity to access relevant training, such as for safeguarding. They are clear about the procedures to follow if they have a concern about the welfare of a child. The childminder plans targeted activities that support children's learning well, and she successfully closes any gaps in their learning. She shares this information with parents regularly. This provides children with consistency in their care and learning. The childminder has developed her practice well since the last inspection, and has successfully addressed the actions and recommendation made at that time. For example, accurate records of children's attendance are maintained.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistants plan activities to take into account children's interests and preferences. They develop children's language and communication skills effectively, and promote children's speaking and listening skills in different ways. For example, children enjoyed listening to stories and choosing and singing their favourite nursery rhymes. Younger children joined in the actions for the songs. The childminder and her assistants help children to learn about being healthy and to make links in their learning. For example, children enjoyed cutting up a variety of vegetables and cracking eggs to make an omelette for their snack. The childminder and her assistants extended the learning well. For example, they explained the benefits of a healthy diet and supervised and guided the younger children, as they were grating the cheese. This helped them understand the importance of safety when cooking and using sharp tools.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved. They are kind, considerate and well mannered. The childminder and her assistants act as positive role models, and help children to develop a good understanding of routines and boundaries. They encourage and praise children who learn to share, take turns and show respect for one another. Children develop good levels of independence during activities. For example, they confidently make decisions about their play, and prepare their own snacks. They learn effective skills around personal hygiene, and enjoy healthy meals and regular fresh air. They have regular opportunities to visit playgroups and local parks to socialise with other children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including their move to school. They develop an extensive range of vocabulary and are confident in recognising colours and counting. They show a good level of concentration and persevere well in tasks. Younger children are eager to join in with the well-planned activities, which help them to think and learn new skills. For instance, they delight in pressing buttons on toys and build their emerging interest in technology.
