p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of how to keep children safe and secure. She has recently updated her child protection knowledge and knows the procedure to follow if she has any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder seeks and responds to parents' views, and plans well-targeted actions to improve her practice. For example, she has strengthened communication channels between herself and parents. She gathers information from parents to understand children's starting points and interests. She monitors the progress of individual children effectively, and ensures their needs are well met. The childminder regularly attends training to keep her knowledge up to date.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a wide range of indoor and outside learning opportunities for children to enjoy. She has an accurate understanding of how children learn. She uses observation and assessment to identify accurately where children are in their learning and to plan for their continual progress. She provides good levels of support and guidance for parents to promote children's learning at home. For instance, she uses 'wow' moments of achievements from parents to find out children's interests and build these into their future learning experiences. The childminder supports children to count and to recognise colours successfully. Older children enjoy extending their mathematical skills using scales to see which is the heaviest from a range of objects. Children confidently initiate their own play and use their imagination well. For example, they set up a picnic for their dolls. The childminder reads stories that children know and enjoy.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

She encourages them to join in using props they have made for their favourite stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is responsive and enthusiastic in her manner. She celebrates children's achievements through praise and compliments, which helps to elevate their self-esteem. They respond well to her high expectations and praise. The childminder supports children well to develop their understanding of the importance of good hygiene and safety. Children develop effective levels of independence. For instance, they are keen to wash their hands before meals and snacks. They enjoy the responsibility of small tasks, such as clearing away after activities. The childminder supports younger children as she introduces the 'tidy-up' song. Children are given many opportunities to practise skills that help to prepare them for school and future learning, such as taking turns and working alongside their peers. She uses the local community well to extend children's learning, and provides many experiences for them to socialise and develop wider relationships.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and settled, and their needs are met well. They are eager to learn, have good levels of motivation, and work comfortably within the range of development appropriate for their ages. Children develop good communication skills and literacy skills as they recognise their names for self-register and enjoy listening to stories. They develop good early mathematical skills as they learn to count how many butterflies they have collected. They develop good social skills and play amicably together.
