p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of the procedures she must follow should she have a concern about a child in her care. She has increased her knowledge of the wider aspects of protecting children to promote their safety. The childminder's home is safe and secure, and she supervises children closely. She completes daily risk assessments of the premises, equipment and toys to ensure these are safe and suitable for children to use. The childminder carries out regular independent research to deepen her knowledge and skills, for example to prepare for the new inspection framework and evaluate the impact this has for children. She reviews the feedback provided by parents to make improvements to the service she provides.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder monitors children's progress well. She identifies gaps in children's learning and takes swift action to close the gaps in their development to help them make good progress. The childminder warmly interacts with the children. She provides children with time to explore the toys. The childminder helps children learn about sounds and noises to support their early speaking skills. Babies babble and respond as they mirror the sounds the childminder makes. The childminder skilfully builds on children's interests. For example, babies who show an interest in stacking cups are provided with a variety of resources to help them handle and build towers to support their physical development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder fully respects children's individual needs and routines. She meets babies' personal needs well. For example, the childminder recognises when they show they are tired and prepares them appropriately for sleep with their comforters. Babies settle well and wake up refreshed and eager to explore and play. Children behave well. The childminder promotes the health of children. For example, she ensures babies have time outside in the fresh air to develop their large-muscle skills. Babies confidently crawl and manoeuvre themselves in and out of the ball pool on to the grass. Children learn to develop their social skills. The childminder takes them to local playgroups where they play with children of a similar age.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain good skills to support their future learning and for their eventual move on to school. Babies show good independence skills as they select toys of their choice. They develop their imaginative skills well with toy telephones and press buttons for cause and effect to make sounds. Babies recognise familiar nursery rhymes. They find props, such as a doll, and look at the nursery rhyme book with the childminder. This supports their early interest in books.
