p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. She knows how to refer any concerns about a child's welfare to the correct agencies. The childminder failed to notify Ofsted of a significant matter as required. She explained that this was a genuine oversight and she had not yet commenced caring for children at the time. She has a clear understanding of the changes and events that she must notify to Ofsted in the future. Therefore, there is no impact on children. The childminder uses risk assessment well to promote children's health and safety. For example, she does not allow anyone to smoke in her home or use mobile phones and cameras when children are present. She supervises children well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches children well as they explore and play. She asks interesting questions to help them think and respond. For example, she asks them what a red or green signal means at traffic lights to help them think as they act out scenarios in their play. She helps children to pronounce words, such as 'helicopter' and 'aeroplane', correctly. The childminder encourages children to test out their ideas. For instance, she talked to them about what they were doing as they pieced together a train track. Children listened carefully and worked out whether the trains would pass through the tunnel they made with blocks. The childminder knows the children well. She monitors their learning effectively to identify and close any gaps in their development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is warm and caring towards the children. She helps them to develop good levels of emotional well-being. The childminder ensures children have the support and resources they need to develop their interests as they engage in play. She is effective in encouraging children to think about their personal safety. For example, she explains why it is not safe to spin around on hard surfaces in the garden to help them learn to keep safe. The childminder encourages children to eat healthy snacks and enjoy outdoor play and fresh air. She praises children regularly for their achievements and good behaviour and encourages them to adopt good manners. Children are well behaved and learn right from wrong.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those for whom the provider receives funding, develop a good range of skills for their future learning. Children whose starting points are below those of other children of their age make good progress. They are motivated to learn and engage in a good variety of learning experiences. Children follow simple instructions and begin to develop good listening skills as they play. They concentrate hard and solve problems as they make creations with blocks or dig and explore the texture of soil. They learn positional language as they move toy trains 'over' bridges and 'around' the track. They link their play interests to books that they enjoy talking about with the childminder.
