p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder demonstrates a good awareness of her safeguarding responsibilities. She knows the action to take in the event of a safeguarding concern. The childminder reviews her knowledge and updates her training regularly to support her professional development. For example, she has updated her safeguarding knowledge to ensure she is working in line with current legislation. The childminder implements stringent health and safety procedures to ensure that children are safe in her care. She monitors the progress children make to help her address any gaps in their learning. The childminder works well with outside agencies to support continuity of learning for children with SEND.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well and identifies their starting points. She observes them regularly and keeps detailed assessments of their development. The childminder has established successful communication systems to enable parents to share information about the children's interests and routines. Parents are complimentary about the quality of the childminding service. The childminder supports children's communication and language well, she skilfully exposes them to language and vocabulary during their play. Children learn new words as the childminder describes children's actions and the names of the resources they are using. The childminder ensures her activities cover specific areas of learning. For example, she develops children's understanding of mixing colours as they paint Mother's Day cards.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are encouraged to develop their self-help skills, such as feeding and attending to their personal hygiene needs. The childminder encourages the children to make choices and initiate play. Children build strong emotional attachments, which helps support their well-being. They are happy and show a good understanding of following rules. Children enjoy the responsibility of small tasks, such as clearing away after activities. This develops their ability to take turns and work alongside their peers, and helps to prepare them for school. Children develop effective levels of independence. For instance, they are keen to wash their hands before meals and learn the importance of this.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points, including those with SEND. They show good levels of confidence and skill in using technological resources that support their literacy skills. Children use tools and select resources to achieve a planned affect, for example when making a Mother's Day card. Children develop good communication and listening skills. They enjoy stories and confidently talk about the illustrations.
