Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of the safeguarding and child protection procedures to follow to help keep children safe and protect their welfare. This includes knowing who to contact to seek advice, to raise and follow up concerns. The childminder provides a secure and safe environment for children. She completes regular risk assessments to ensure that children are safe in her care. The childminder is proactive in keeping her knowledge up to date. For example, she completes online training and engages with a network of local childminders. The childminder tracks children's development closely and quickly identifies ways to close any emerging gaps in their learning. She exchanges relevant information and works closely with other early years professionals to meet children's care and learning needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides the children with activities based on their interests. As a result, children enjoy play and develop new skills. For example, the childminder plays a range of different music for the children and encourages them to dance and sing along with it, supporting their physical and language development. She skilfully incorporates opportunities for children to count and recognise numbers as they enjoy these experiences. The childminder interacts effectively with children. For example, she challenges them to blow soap bubbles, using a range of bubble wands. Children use their imaginations well when pretending to make sandcastles in the sand pit. They enjoy re-telling simple stories using pictures from familiar books. The childminder skilfully supports children's communication and language skills. She talks clearly and listens carefully to children. Children become confident communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model and gives praise and encouragement to children. Children respond positively to her and behave well. This helps them to develop good levels of self-esteem. Children are helped to recognise the feelings and emotions of others. They are encouraged to take turns and share toys fairly. The childminder provides children with healthy meals and explains the benefits of eating healthy foods for their growing bodies. The childminder encourages children to do things for themselves. They confidently put on their clothes and help to prepare their lunch.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active learners who confidently explore the environment. They learn to take turns and share as they play. They develop good physical skills. Children mould and sculpt sand. This helps them to develop small-muscle control to support their early writing skills. Children identify numbers and begin to form letters in the marks they make. Children gain good skills to support the next stage in their learning.
