p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder builds good relationships with children and parents. Parents comment positively, stating that it is a 'home from home' for their children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of all safeguarding matters and knows how to protect children. She knows the signs that may indicate a child is at risk from abuse or neglect, and is fully aware of the actions to take should she have any concerns. The childminder keeps herself up to date with relevant training, research and inspection updates, and is an active member of a childminding forum. She manages her provision well, so it meets the needs of all children. The childminder keeps a daily diary for each child and shares this information with parents. She seeks feedback on what she does well and how she can improve her service further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has good knowledge of the children she cares for, and knows their needs and interests well. She supports their learning through observation, and reviews their development to identify what they need to learn next. The childminder communicates beautifully with the children. She has a very gentle approach and speaks clearly. The childminder extends children's thoughts and ideas through activities, engaging in conversation and developing their listening, thinking and speaking skills. She teaches younger children to recognise objects through repetition and books, and extends their language development by introducing them to new songs and rhymes. The childminder engages parents to support their child's learning. For instance, she shares information about areas of weakness so that they can work together to close any gaps in children's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from daily outdoor experiences. For example, they enjoy trips to the local park, church playgroup and library. Children form strong attachments to the childminder. She supports them effectively to understand how to keep safe, for instance when they cross roads and use public transport. Children are well behaved and show confidence and curiosity in interactions with visitors. They follow instructions well and are aware of boundaries. For example, they know not to go upstairs. The childminder has a good understanding of British values. Children celebrate festivals and religions. For instance, they made Chinese lanterns and fortune cookies for Chinese New Year. The childminder is attentive to children's needs, and creates a warm and welcoming environment for them to explore and learn. Children are emotionally secure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and learn key skills to prepare them for their next stage in learning. They explore the childminder's home independently, and choose and request activities that interest them. They play independently and alongside the childminder. The childminder is supportive of children's independence and prepares them well for their transition to school.
