p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The well-qualified childminder is reflective in her practice. She reviews the progress children make and gathers the views of parents to help her to identify her strengths and areas to develop. The childminder plans her professional development to help to enhance her practice and meet the needs of children. For instance, she is currently taking a qualification in forest school training to enhance her practice and support even further children who prefer to learn outside. Parents are positive about the childminder. They appreciate the good communication she provides about their children's day and how they can support children's ongoing learning at home. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder attends regular safeguarding training and reads widely to help to keep her knowledge updated. She confidently fulfils her role to protect children from harm. She knows what to do should she have any concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The enthusiastic childminder is knowledgeable about how children learn and develop. She observes children as they play and sensitively joins in. Children squirt coloured foam soap and excitedly watch as it spirals and grows. The childminder talks to them as they spoon foam into cups to create ice creams. Children explore the texture of the foam and the childminder introduces new words as she likens it to 'long wriggly worms'. The childminder encourages children to draw and make marks using different tools, such as chalk, water and crayons. She describes children's actions as they squeeze, squash and shape play dough. This helps them to develop a good vocabulary and promotes their small-muscle control as they show interest in writing and drawing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a safe environment that promotes their good physical skills. For instance, babies have plenty of space to crawl, stand and walk. Children freely access a good range of toys and resources. They enjoy frequent trips into the local community with the childminder to toddler groups, parks and local woods. Children learn about healthy food choices and growth cycles as they plant and nurture strawberries and runner beans. The childminder is attentive to children's needs. For example, she recognises the cues in babies' body language to provide them with rest. She ensures children drink plenty of water to help to keep them hydrated, especially in warm weather. Children are proud of their achievements, for example when they become steady on their feet or as they develop the coordination to squirt foam from pressurised cans.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress given their starting points and capabilities. They are confident and eager to play. Children are eager to do things for themselves. They develop independence in their self-care and hygiene routines. For instance, children use mirrors to help them clean their face after eating snacks and meals. Children use numbers as they play, accurately counting two diggers and three cupcake cases. Children gain the key skills and develop good attitudes to support the next stage in their learning and the eventual move to school.
