p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of how to protect children from harm and the procedures to take if a child is at risk. The childminder's self- evaluation process is effective. She is part of a monthly childminding network and has built strong links with other professionals. The childminder uses these opportunities to keep her knowledge up to date and to identify future priorities for development. For example, she plans to develop her systems for observation and assessment to help her to monitor children's progress more accurately. The childminder ensures that her home is safe for the children. She carries out risk assessments to identify any hazards and minimise risks.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder quickly recognises opportunities during children's play when she can extend their learning. While children play with the cars on a car mat, she talks to them about crossing the road safely and keeping themselves safe. The childminder helps children to recognise numbers in their written form. Children match the numerals on wooden blocks and place them in the correct sequence. They turn to the childminder for support and reassurance when challenges occur. The childminder promotes children's confidence and determination to complete tasks. She creates her own resources for children. For example, the childminder makes sensory mats for the babies to explore. They enjoy the visual and sensory experience that they offer.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children move around the childminder's home with ease and self-assurance. They demonstrate a very strong sense of belonging. The childminder ensures that the home routines of children are known, valued and followed through her good partnerships with parents. Children are physically active and enjoy healthy lifestyles. The childminder takes children on many outings in the local community. They watch the locks opening on the canal and they visit the farm and local parks. This helps children to learn about the world around them and provides them with many different learning experiences. Children are polite, listen well to the childminder and follow her instructions eagerly. Babies are happy and thrive in the nurturing environment that the childminder offers. They are quickly comforted by the childminder when they get upset and their personal and physical needs are met in a timely and sensitive manner. Children seek out the childminder to join in

with their play. They enjoy being in her company and have formed secure attachments to her.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in all areas of their learning. They are emotionally and physically well prepared for their next stage in learning, including starting school. Children develop their mathematical understanding particularly well. They take part in mathematical challenges during a play dough making activity. Children measure out the ingredients and think about the quantities needed. They extend their language skills and describe the different consistencies of the play dough as they make it together.
