p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a confident understanding of the signs and indicators that a child may be at risk of harm. In addition, she is secure in the procedures to follow in the event of a safeguarding concern. The childminder evaluates her practice well. For instance, she regularly undertakes training to improve her teaching skills. For example, she has completed training on risk assessments to help her understand how to manage risk. In addition, the childminder has listened to seminars. These have included planning and observations to help her to formalise her planning and show how children are progressing in more detail.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with a variety of experiences, inside and outside of her home, to interest and aid their learning and development. The childminder supports children's understanding of the world and imagination skills effectively. For example, she teaches children how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly and supports them to create their own during art and craft activities. The childminder communicates well to the children and supports their developing vocabulary. For example, she repeats phrases and words back to younger children to help with their pronunciation. In addition, she skilfully asks older children a range of questions to build on their speaking and understanding skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has good procedures in place to help children feel ease within her home. For example, she gets to know them well before they start, through settling-in visits and discussions with parents. Children are happy in the childminder's care and enjoy her company, as they readily invite her into their play. Children show they feel safe as they explore the childminder's home with confidence. The childminder encourages children's physical development well. For instance, children enjoy crafts such as sticking and gluing, which helps to develop their hand-to-eye coordination as they create faces. All children's large-muscle skills are well developed. For example, the childminder takes the children out regularly to play and climb on large equipment at the parks and soft- play areas.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are engaged well in activities. They are learning important skills that prepare them for the future, such as drawing and mark making to support their early writing skills. Children are independent and are developing good social skills to help prepare them for their next stage in education and learning. For example, they play well together and enjoy regularly visiting toddler groups, where they learn key skills such as turn taking and sharing.
