p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have a secure understanding of the signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They fully understand how to record any concerns that they may have and know who they should report these to. The childminder assesses all areas of her home and garden to ensure that children remain safe. She has well-written policies and procedures in place that reflect her ethos of care. The childminder monitors her assistant's work and supervises her well. This helps to promote consistency in the care they offer to children. The childminder evaluates the setting and identifies ways she can enhance the provision further. She regularly seeks the views of parents as part of her self-evaluation process. Parents are very positive about the childminder and her assistant. They speak highly of the level of care and learning opportunities provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant provide a well-organised, stimulating and homely environment for the children. Children have access to a wide range of resources and move freely around the childminder's home, choosing where to play. This helps children to develop their confidence and independence. The childminder and her assistant have a secure understanding of how children learn and develop. They take account of children's interests when planning activities to build on what children already know. The childminder and her assistant adapt and reshape activities to meet children's needs. For example, when children indicate that they would like to draw, the assistant provides them with a range of different tools to use. Children develop their small-muscle skills as they draw their favourite superheroes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very settled and feel comfortable in the care of the childminder and her assistant. They show an awareness of the routines. For instance, when the childminder asks the children if they would like to go outside, they all go to get their shoes and coats. Children have lots of opportunities to be active and enjoy playing in the childminder's garden. They play with the childminder on the trampoline and develop their physical skills as they bounce up and down. Children learn about the importance of being healthy. The childminder and her assistant promote good hygiene practices, such as hand washing, and children enjoy a range of healthy meals. Children sit together with the assistant to eat their lunch. This helps them to develop their social skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and develop the skills they need for future learning, including the eventual move on to school. For example, they listen carefully and can follow simple instructions. Children are independent and are developing good social skills. They play cooperatively and display high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Children develop their small-muscle skills and hand-to-eye coordination as they carefully pour sand into different sized containers to make cups of tea in the outdoor kitchen.
