p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder completes regular training to increase her safeguarding knowledge. She is confident about recognising the potential risks posed to children and knows how to respond if she has concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder takes effective steps to make continuous improvements to her service. For example, she has introduced more learning opportunities for children during routines, such as recognising colours at mealtimes. The childminder makes good use of resources within her local community to extend children's learning experiences. Children take part in a range of learning opportunities away from her setting, such as visits to the library. This contributes well to the good progress children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses observations of children's learning to plan activities that take account of their interests well. For instance, she encourages babies to mimic her facial expressions, and they show their enjoyment as they laugh and gurgle. This helps their developing communication skills. The childminder uses effective methods to promote children's curiosity. She provides items of different textures in a wicker basket and encourages children to explore the contents. The childminder provides opportunities for children to develop their physical skills, for example when they use equipment with increasing skills at the park. The childminder supports children's mathematical development effectively. She demonstrates this as she counts with babies as they play and explore books together, and helps them to match and sort shapes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's social and emotional development effectively. She builds close bonds with children and provides opportunities for them to get to meet others, for example as they visit local playgroups. Babies who find it hard to separate from their parents show that they are happy and secure in the childminder's care. They demonstrate that they quickly gain confidence as they play in the presence of unfamiliar adults. The childminder offers reassurance and sensitive support to parents. She discusses ways to help establish sleep routines and gives appropriate weaning advice. This helps to support children's physical well-being and promotes continuity of care. The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of how to keep children safe. She responds well in addressing potential hazards and assesses risks in her home and when on outings or visits. She maintains accurate records of children's accidents and shares

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Babies seek out familiar adults when upset and are reassured by their presence. They gain confidence as they crawl and move around with increasing speed. Those who hear other languages spoken at home enjoy shaking instruments, and listen closely to the sounds that they make. This helps to further develop their listening and attention skills. Children are motivated to explore and show curiosity. They are well prepared for their next stages in learning.
