p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of how to identify and report any concerns about a child's welfare. She knows who to contact should she have any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder monitors children's development, which helps her to identify and close any gaps in their learning. She uses daily discussion and diaries to help keep parents well informed about their children's day. The childminder reflects on the quality of her service and seeks feedback from parents to help her review her provision. She makes effective plans to improve children's learning outcomes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder models, guides and assists the children in questioning, problem-solving and enjoying what they are doing. For example, she initiated counting with younger children as they made dinosaur footprints in the play dough. The childminder supports children's early literacy skills, and she encourages older children to recognise letters and their sounds in their name. The childminder supports children's language skills as she sits with them to play and talks about what they are doing. She creates opportunities for children to learn about people and communities beyond their immediate experience. The children enjoy trips to different places to observe different cultures, and parents appreciate the social development their children make during off-site activities with the childminder.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a nurturing environment where children thrive. She works in partnership with parents to make sure children's daily routines are followed. This helps children to feel comfortable and secure. Children's behaviour is good. Children make choices freely during play activities and express their preferences confidently. The childminder helps children understand how to lead healthy lifestyles, and they have many opportunities that support them in developing their physical skills. Children regularly visit other groups with the childminder and have the opportunity to play and socialise with other children in the community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress. They are confident, independent, and are able to solve problems and make choices about their own play. They have formed good relationships with their peers and the childminder. Children develop good literacy and mathematical skills. Younger children are supported well in their language acquisition. Children are prepared well for their future learning and development and their eventual move to school.
