p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder attends safeguarding training and knows how to respond effectively if she has concerns regarding a child's care. She is fully aware of her responsibility to protect children. The childminder communicates well with parents about their children's individual needs. This provides an effective two-way flow of information to support a consistent approach to children's learning. The childminder uses self-evaluation to develop her practice and raise the quality of the service she is providing. She gathers the opinions of parents and actively includes them in their children's learning and care. She networks with other childminders to share positive practice and new developments.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is knowledgeable about the children in her care and interacts well with them as they play. The childminder supports children well in developing their communication skills. She models speech effectively, and uses props and toys to further extend children's recognition of words and objects. Children enjoy sharing books and reading stories with the childminder. They are encouraged to join in singing activities and use actions to provide more meaning. This helps to develop children's listening and attention skills. The childminder encourages children to use their imaginations as they play. For example, she encourages them to improvise while they are playing by using shape sorter pieces as pretend food for animal figures, which helps to bring their ideas to life. The childminder plans an interesting range of activities for older children who attend during the school holidays.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about their wider community. They visit the local library, use the local shops, and walk to nearby fields where they learn about animals and wildlife. Children behave well and the childminder models the use of good manners. For example, she encourages children to use 'please' in their conversations. Children develop their small- muscle skills as they use jigsaws and activity toys and place items in a shape sorter. The childminder is enthusiastic and offers lots of praise for all their achievements. The childminder promotes a healthy lifestyle and ensures that children have healthy food and drinks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to learn and make good progress. They are confident and are acquiring the skills they need for the next stage in their learning. Children learn to play cooperatively with each other and are independent. Younger children persevere with tasks and spend time working out how interactive toys work by pressing buttons to make different sounds. Younger children can identify many of their familiar toys and objects, and are starting to make themselves understood with their communication skills.
