Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to recognise signs that children may be at risk of harm and what action to take to help protect their safety or welfare. She undertakes training to ensure her knowledge remains up to date. The childminder is currently caring for younger children and she makes sure her home is a safe place for them to explore. She carries out thorough risk assessments and accurately identifies and reduces potential hazards for children. Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents are very positive about the service she provides. The childminder engages in two-way communication, involving parents effectively in their children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She observes children as they play and uses these observations to plan for future learning. She tracks their development closely and quickly identifies ways to close any emerging gaps in their learning. The childminder supports children's communication and language skills effectively. For instance, she introduces new words, such as the names of animals, as children play. She encourages children to repeat words and provides an interesting narrative to play. The childminder listens attentively to the sounds children make and engages in social conversations with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy lots of individual attention, which helps them to build positive relationships with the childminder. The childminder places a strong focus on their well- being. Children enjoy healthy snacks and meals, and benefit from regular fresh air and exercise in the outside space and local parks. The childminder encourages children to be independent, for example when making decisions about the resources they play with. The childminder follows children's interests well. She provides opportunities for children to learn about people who are different to themselves. For example, during walks in the local community, they discuss what they see and learn about different traditions. The childminder is a good role model. She uses good manners and treats children with kindness and respect.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active learners who enjoy the time they spend with the childminder. Children develop good physical skills. Babies have plenty of space to crawl, stand and practise their emerging walking skills. They explore the environment freely and confidently. They investigate different resources and enjoy looking at books. Children gain good skills to support the next stage in their learning.
