p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has clear policies and procedures, which she shares with parents to keep children safe. She knows how to report concerns if she suspects any child is at risk of harm, and how to manage allegations of harm or abuse against her or any assistant who may work with her in the future. The setting is secure and a daily checklist is used to minimise hazards in the home. The childminder has worked with her early years coordinator to improve her documentation, for example keeping records of attendance and visitors. The ensures the safe and efficient running of the setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gathers information from parents to find out what children know and can do. She plans for children's next stages of learning and captures their progress using observations and photographs. Assessments show that children make good progress. The childminder is skilled at speaking and listening to children during play. She places a strong focus on developing children's communication and language skills. For example, in a 'moon sand' activity she talks to children about shape, space and colour. She helps them to count the scoops of sand for themselves, and use their imagination to pretend it is ice cream. Children currently attending are from Spanish-speaking families. The childminder speaks to children both in English and Spanish during play. She uses pictures and books to support children in both languages. This helps children feel secure and make rapid progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model for children. She gives plenty of praise and assurance, which helps younger children know what they have done well. Children are encouraged to share, take turns and play well together. All children are included in activities because the childminder divides her attention appropriately. They learn to help tidy away toys, wash their hands before lunch, and enjoy healthy meals. The childminder promotes children's physical skills well. They enjoy painting and drawing, as well as moving to music and rhyme. Toys are easily accessible and children quickly learn where things are kept. This gives them a sense of belonging when they are in the childminder's home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy adult-led activities with the childminder, due to the close attention they receive. They enjoy creative experiences, role play, singing and dancing. This helps younger children learn social skills and supports their emotional well-being. Children make good progress in their language and communication. This ensures they are prepared well for future learning, and for school.
