p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has developed a good knowledge of safeguarding practice. For example, she knows about the recording and reporting procedures and shares her policies with parents to help keep children safe. The childminder checks the progress of each child. When identifying gaps in children's learning, she is confident to seek advice from professionals to meet the needs of all children. She works well with providers to ensure good progression and consistency to children's learning and development. The childminder considers the comments and suggestions of parents, children and others. This helps her reflect on her practice to sustain continuous improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder obtains relevant information from parents to establish children's starting points. She uses her observations to provide engaging activities that motivate children to learn. The childminder plays with children and offers them praise and encouragement. Children keenly join in play and relate very well to others. For example, they learn to explore a range of toys and find out how things work. Children can build their favourite models and handle resources with care. The childminder holds discussions with children and supports their language development effectively. Children enjoy stories, learn songs and acquire new vocabularies.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is an excellent role model for children. She talks to children in a calm and gentle manner and uses praise to boost their confidence. Children learn to share toys fairly, negotiate roles during play and solve problems. The childminder helps children to adopt excellent healthy lifestyles. For example, children know that water keeps them hydrated. Older children understand that fruit has goodness to help them grow and develop. Children learn to use real cutlery, serve themselves and develop very good skills to manage tools safely. Children learn to put their plates and cutlery away after eating, without being prompted. Children engage very well in outdoor play. For example, they learn to throw and catch balls, developing very good coordination and control. The childminder makes regular checks on her home and outings to help keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children achieve well and any gaps in their learning are closing. Younger children learn to socialise with others. Older children learn to count, sort and match objects correctly. They are developing the skills to solve problems. They know some letters and sounds and are beginning to recognise the initial sounds in their names. Children are aware of the changes that happen to the natural world around them.
