This provision is good

n Children are happy and settled in the setting. They bond well with each other and are keen to come into the setting each morning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to help keep children secure. The childminder and her assistants have up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues and relevant procedures, such as knowing how to report any concerns if they suspect a child is at risk of harm. The childminder uses continual professional development to improve the practice of her assistants where needed, such as through training courses and daily reflections on practice. The childminder and her assistants maintain high hygiene standards which have a positive impact on children's health.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans exciting activities for children, based on their individual interests, meaning that children learn and progress well. The childminder ensures her assistants are aware of children's individual learning styles and, as a result, children are well supported to make progress in their learning. For example, staff carefully alter their teaching styles for children who may need additional support in communicating confidently. Children develop strong mathematical and problem-solving skills through a range of resources and activities. Parents are kept up to date with their children's development and have opportunities to discuss any concerns with the childminder as needed, such as through daily journal books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident to speak their minds and communicate their wishes, for example, suggesting which story to read at circle time. Children negotiate conflict well and without adult intervention. They consistently behave well and show enjoyment in the choices they make. The childminder and her assistants carefully plan a daily routine which ensures children know what is happening next and eagerly take part in this. Children clearly bond well with the childminder and her assistants due to the established key- person system. They separate well from their parents each morning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for school. Parents report that children meet their expected milestones and, in some cases, exceed these before they are expected to. Children are able to recognise letters which are important to them, such as the first letters of their names. The childminder ensures children learn about a range of celebrations and festivals through the year, widening children's knowledge about the world around them. The childminder tracks children's development effectively and develops links with other professionals if required, such as local authority advisers or speech and language therapists.
