early mathematical skills as they count and arrange the different-sized stacking blocks. n Although the childminder has improved her professional development to a good level, she does not use all opportunities to take children's learning to an even higher level. n The childminder's assessment procedures on entry are not precise enough to enable her to rigorously monitor children's overall development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder is well trained in safeguarding procedures. She has comprehensive child protection policies and ensures her paediatric first aid is up to date. The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibility to keep children safe. She knows who to contact if she has any concerns about children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder uses a range of strategies to support her continuous professional development. She regularly meets with other childminders and professionals to enhance her knowledge and skills, for example her understanding of how to develop children's mathematics skills. This has a positive impact on outcomes for children. Parent partnerships are well developed. Parents write about the helpful tips and advice the childminder provides to help them support their children's development at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder offers a range of enjoyable activities that support children's development in all the areas of the early years curriculum. Young children show high levels of independence as they explore the environment happily, and with a sense of self-assurance. The childminder is highly skilful at developing young children's physical and early mark-making skills. Evidence from a large range of photographs shows that the childminder encourages children to draw and make marks in a range of ways. Older children, who attend before and after school, also benefit from a range of interesting planned activities and games. During singing sessions, the childminder uses her voice expressively to hold children's attention and to encourage them to join in with action songs and rhymes. Observations and assessments are undertaken for all children, which ensures plans are in place to help to build on their abilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is caring, experienced and highly effective in helping children to feel safe and emotionally secure in her care. Children settle in quickly and turn to the childminder for spontaneous hugs and cuddles. They develop the confidence to play independently and happily babble and interact. The childminder is very gentle, calm and a good role model. Children's behaviour is good. The childminder develops children's self-help skills effectively. Younger children are beginning to tackle small tasks and become increasingly independent. They are learning to feed themselves and find out about personal hygiene, such as handwashing at appropriate times of the day. The childminder reminds children to drink plenty of water throughout the day and offers healthy snacks, such as fresh fruit.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They use their senses to explore different materials, such as sponge balls, a range of different textured materials, water and sand. Children develop their creativity. Younger children develop good language and physical skills as they use words, such as 'big' and 'small' when playing with construction. Children are fascinated with toys that develop their imagination as they engage for extended periods of time, playing with a toy mop and bucket. Children learn key skills for their future learning in readiness for the move on to nursery and school.
