Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of how to keep children safe in her care. She can confidently explain what action she would take if she had a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder successfully reflects on her practice and takes into account the views of children and parents. This helps her to make improvements that have a positive impact on children's learning and outcomes. Positive written feedback from parents demonstrates that they are satisfied with the level of care that the childminder provides. The childminder has regular contact with other childminders in the local area. This enables her to share ideas and discuss best practice. The childminder attends training, receives regular emails from the local authority and reads information online. This helps her to keep up to date with her professional development and changes to legislation. The childminder has established

links with the local school to further support children's learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder monitors children's progress and follows their individual needs and interests. For example, children enjoy outdoor play, therefore the childminder provides activities outside that support children to learn. For instance, children use their imagination and pretend to make cakes with sand in the role-play kitchen area. The childminder uses effective questioning to help to improve children's language and thinking skills. For example, she asks children to tell her what they are making. Children use wheeled resources outdoors which help to develop their physical skills. They help to care for the childminder's pet rabbit, which helps children to develop an understanding of caring for living creatures. The childminder supports children's mathematical development well as they increase their awareness of shapes and numbers during daily activities. Children become motivated learners who make good progress in their

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a homely learning environment that contributes towards meeting children's individual needs and helps them to feel emotionally secure. Children's good health is supported and meals and snacks are varied and nutritious. There are opportunities throughout the day where children are encouraged to engage in physical activity. For example, children explore the childminder's garden, go on frequent trips into the community and visit local parks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children make good progress in their learning and development, and are settled and happy. Older children learn how to manage their self-care skills. For example, they put on their own shoes before going outdoors to play. Children thoroughly enjoy opportunities to initiate their chosen play and they do this with confidence. For example, they choose to play with toy farm animals. Children learn how to play cooperatively with other children and are well prepared for moving on to school.
