p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder effectively reviews her evaluation process. She frequently seeks the views of children and parents to help her identify areas for improvement. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows what steps to take if she is worried about a child's welfare. She makes use of a variety of training and learning opportunities to develop her skills. For example, she now has a better understanding of how to prepare children for school. Since the last inspection, the childminder now gives children more time to think through their own ideas and to make their own suggestions and think for themselves. She also completes detailed information on the likes and dislikes of children when they first start. Comments from parents show they are happy with the care the childminder provides and are pleased with their children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches mathematics well and children begin to learn simple addition and subtraction. She plans a range of exciting and fun activities. For example, children grew cress in the shape of the first letter of their name. They begin to learn how plants grow and experiment with planting runner beans in clear containers to show the development of the roots. Children learn about science and the world around them well. They learn that a plumber is someone who fixes the hot water temperature and how a windsock is used at the airport to show the wind direction. They learn that a vet is someone who looks after animals and how a barrier works at a car park. The childminder explains what a megaphone is and how it makes your voice louder. She extends the children's learning effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model and teaches children about disabilities effectively. For example, she has a variety of resources showing people who need extra help, such as wheelchair users. She demonstrates how to use a manual wheelchair using her arms and hands. The childminder teaches children to be aware of their own risk and personal safety well and they know to call 999 in an emergency. The childminder teaches children simple good practices that help keep them healthy and safe. For example, they know they need to wash their hands before their snack or after toileting. The childminder's home is well organised and welcoming. Children benefit from a well-planned playroom. They can make choices from the good variety of resources. They move around safely and grow in confidence and independence.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children's understanding of responsibility is developing through tasks, such as tidying away toys and putting their own shoes on. They learn good manners and share well. Children learn good skills in preparation for school. For instance, they learn how to recognise their names and can do simple tasks for themselves. Children develop good social and physical skills. For example, they visit the zoo, soft-play areas, farms, parks, the aquarium, the garden centre and the library, and meet with other childminders. Children make good progress from their starting points.
