Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder regularly updates her child protection training. She is clear about the correct procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder checks and maintains the environment daily to ensure it is suitably safe for children to play in. Partnership working between the childminder and her co-childminder is strong. Assessment of children's learning is accurate. The childminder discusses with her co-childminder ways to help children to narrow any possible gaps in learning. The childminder has a highly effective, reflective approach to her work. For example, she networks with other childminders and works closely with professionals to help her identify areas for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder involves herself fully in children's chosen play in order to support their learning. For example, she teaches children about colour through a fun activity using dough. Children learn to express their emotions. For example, the childminder encourages them to show their sad and happy faces in the mirror. She assists children to learn positional language during their play. For instance, they talk about which car is 'in front' and which is 'behind'. Children recognise number symbols on their vehicles. Older children group and categorise different vehicles and count confidently to 10. They know the total number value changes when they add one more vehicle to a group.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children play imaginatively with dolls. They wrap them in blankets and push them around the garden in prams. Children are relaxed and happy. They regard visitors, such as the inspector, with curiosity. Children form good bonds with the childminder and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. They access a range of resources and equipment independently. Children enjoy plenty of time outdoors. They push themselves along in ride-on toys and run in the open garden space. Children access water to drink freely and the childminder encourages them to stay hydrated. They learn self-care skills, for example as they demonstrate effective handwashing and tidy away resources.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They develop a wide range of key skills and knowledge that support their readiness for school. From a young age, children learn to manage their personal care needs. For example, they use the toilet independently, wash their hands before mealtimes, and learn to put on their shoes ready for outdoor play. Children develop social skills and friendships as they play cooperatively.
