p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder works in good partnership with other professionals. She shares children's stages of learning with them and explains how they are working towards their targets. This helps to support good continuity of care for children. The childminder has a clear understanding of the reporting procedures for child protection and how to safeguard children in her care. The childminder risk assesses her home to make sure it is safe for children to play in. She carries out regular fire drills and teaches children about new places of safety. This helps them to be aware of what to do in an event of an emergency. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder accurately assesses children's stages of development and their next steps in learning. She uses this information to plan high-quality activities that support and strengthen children's learning and development. Children thoroughly enjoy learning how to play skittles and how to count the number they have knocked down. The childminder helps children to problem solve when the ball does not roll as it should. They work out it is rolling uphill, so they work together to move the game around. This further helps to develop children's mathematical development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very happy attending the setting. They develop secure bonds with the childminder, which helps them to develop their personal and social skills. For example, shy children are nurtured well and quickly develop confidence to try new experiences and to voice their views. Children are highly skilled in getting themselves ready to play outside. They expertly put on their shoes, doing this without help from the childminder. This further develops their personal and social development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning and subsequent move to school. Different groups of children all make good progress given their starting points. They thoroughly enjoy learning new concepts, such as measure and what happens to certain items when they are placed in water. Children get excited when their predictions of stones sinking are correct. They learn how heavy items sink and hunt for more resources to try out. They learn from this how certain items float no matter how hard they try to sink them. This supports children's early mathematical development well.
