p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is aware of the procedure and actions to take to safeguard the children if required. She knows the referral procedure and understands the steps to take if an allegation is made against herself or a family member. Risk assessments are robust and all areas of the premises are secure and safe for children use. The childminder ensures that every child is welcomed, cherished and nurtured at the setting. She knows all parents and their children well. This enables her to provide for the children's daily needs. The childminder shares clear policies and procedures with parents to help promote all aspects of children's safety and welfare and to keep parents informed.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans and provides an array of fun and interesting activities which keep children motivated to learn. She understands the importance of physical activity for children to support their health and well-being, and promotes this well. She provides exciting learning experiences both indoors and outdoors, which challenge children's physical endurance and strength. For instance, children play cricket with the childminder. They also happily kick balls to one another and water the plants in the garden as they hold conversations about changes to the plants. As part of the routine, the childminder has musical time with the children in the mornings, where, through music, they identify parts of the human body. The childminder follows children's interests and allows them to lead their play. For example, when children request to paint, she provides the materials for this. She responds quickly to children's needs when they request to change activity

from painting to play dough cutting. The childminder helps children to develop their communication and language skills through her skilful interactions with them as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. They are polite when speaking to their peers and visitors and are happy to share resources. Children use 'please' and 'thank you' in their conversations. They work collaboratively to build a house using plastic bricks. Children are well settled at the setting and look forward to attending. The childminder allows children who speak English as an additional language to use their first language at the setting. Children enjoy nutritious meals and the childminder promotes inclusion and diversity by, for example, providing the opportunity for children to taste foods from other cultures. Children share a book with the childminder about different people's beliefs, to support their understanding of diversity.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and are ready for the next stage in their learning and development, and their eventual move on to school. Children choose their activities with confidence. They are beginning to show independence in their self-care skills. Children learn to put their shoes on, use the toilets, wash their hands and feed themselves.
