p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is able to recognise the potential signs of abuse. She knows the procedure to follow should any concern arise regarding children's safety or welfare. Overall, the childminder reflects on and evaluates her practice well. She seeks the views of parents to identify ways to help make further improvements. She makes sure that all mandatory training is kept up to date. Partnerships with parents are positive. The childminder keeps parents informed of their child progress. She has daily discussions and shares their child's learning journal with them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play confidently in a welcoming, friendly environment. The childminder provides opportunities for children to explore a good range of interesting, age-appropriate resources. She sensitively joins in children's play and is a positive role model. The childminder promotes children's communication skills well. For example, children playing with dough discuss texture, colour and shape. The childminder takes every opportunity to develop children's early mathematical skills. An example of this is, when counting dough in a bowl, she asked, 'If we add another one in, how many?' She listens carefully and give them time to talk.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to develop good hygiene routines and begin to manage their personal care. For example, young children learn to wash and dry their hands before eating. Meals are freshly prepared, healthy and nutritious, contributing to children's good health. Children have regular opportunities for outdoor play. They enjoy exercise and develop physical skills and coordination while playing in the large garden. For example, they paint with water and explore sand using different tools, and use them to make their own creations. Children learn about communities beyond their immediate experience and about the different ways that people celebrate special events.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are eager learners who make good progress. They acquire the skills, knowledge and attitudes to learning that prepare them well to start school. They are independent and initiate their own ideas to extend their learning. For example, they develop high levels of self-assurance and self-esteem and enjoy a good relationship with the childminder. Children enjoy making marks and develop good levels in early literacy and numeracy. Children are encouraged to help with tidying up once they have finished with an activity. They use good manners and understand what is expected of them.
