p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has clear knowledge of the correct procedures to follow, in line with Local Safeguarding Children Board guidelines, to report any child protection concerns. This helps to keep children safe from harm. The childminder fosters effective communication with parents. He values parental comments and shares regular updates with them about their children's development. Good partnerships with parents help to reassure children as they receive complementary care and learning, both at home and in the childminder's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is a good role model. He participates in children's games and suggests subtle ideas to extend children's learning and development. For example, they are encouraged to hold, throw and catch balls. This helps to extend their physical coordination, strength and balance. The childminder incorporates increasing levels of challenge into play. For example, children are encouraged to throw balls in certain directions, extending their understanding of instructions and listening skills during this largely physical activity. The childminder recognises and responds to children's emerging interests. For example, when playing in the garden, they become inquisitive and curious about a ladybird. Children engage in conversation about the insect. This appropriate and topical discussion, following their interests, helps to support children's language and communication skills. The quality of the childminder's interactions is good.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. They are encouraged to try new foods and persuaded to eat all their meals. Children discuss the effect food has on their bodies and develop a positive attitude to healthy eating. The childminder provides children with clear boundaries and expectations. For example, they are reminded not to throw toys indoors and to remove their shoes before entering the house. Children respond well and behaviour is cooperative and good.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They are inquisitive and curious to explore and investigate. A positive attitude is nurtured and motivation creates a stable foundation for future learning. Children are particularly assertive and communicate their ideas and wishes with ease. Their vocabulary develops daily and they contribute to discussions and conversations with increasing confidence. Children begin to manage their personal care needs independently. For example, they visit the toilet and feed themselves with increasing autonomy. Children prepare well for the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school.
