n The childminder provides a warm and welcoming environment. Children are very happy, secure and independent. They have a strong sense of attachment and are confident to approach the childminder for reassurance and comfort. n The childminder finds out as much information about the child at the start from parents. She regularly shares information about children's well-being and development, all of which helps to support effective partnerships with parents. n The childminder effectively monitors children's progress. She skilfully identifies their next steps in learning and plans how to support children further. Children make good progress from their starting points. n Children have good opportunities to learn outdoors.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder confidently identifies possible signs of harm and abuse and knows the procedures to follow if she had any concerns about a child's welfare. She is alert to signs that a child may at risk of extreme views and behaviours. The childminder risk assesses her home and places she takes children to on trips. She ensures children are kept safe and free from any possible hazards, to support their well- being. The childminder updates her childcare knowledge. For example, she completes regular training courses. She effectively evaluates her practice and requests parental feedback to help her improve.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has good knowledge and experience of how children learn and develop. She observes children's progress regularly and monitors their progress, to help benefit their future learning. The childminder supports children's language development well. For example, children's ability to understand and their ability to process and produce language flourish in an amazing way and are well supported by the childminder. The childminder's strong verbal interactions and consistent commentary with the children help them to use two-word sentences and adequately exchange information with others in a meaningful way. The childminder encourages children's understanding of mathematics effectively. For instance, children enjoy construction play which helps make education enjoyable and engaging. Children build small towers, supporting their self- confidence and encouraging independent learning. Children learn about shape, size and

capacity as they work out how many bricks they need to build the tower.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder makes good use of the resources available in her local community to support children's awareness of diversity and the wider world. For example, children socialise with children at different playgroups and during visits to the park. The childminder celebrates children's home languages. For example, she uses key words in each child's home language to communicate with them. She teaches children about good hygiene practices. For example, children are reminded to wash their hands before eating. The childminder follows robust nappy-changing procedures and minimises the risk of cross-infection when changing nappies. Children enjoy daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need to move on to their next stage of learning and eventual move to school. Children understand and follow routines. They are kind to each other and take turns, share and are well behaved. Children sit and listen to stories and understand that words have meaning. They help to turn the pages of books, and point and follow the storyline with enthusiasm. Children who speak English as an additional language gain the skills they need to communicate effectively.
