Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder knows how to identify, and respond to, any signs of abuse. She prioritises keeping children safe in her home and during outings into the community. For example, the childminder carries out regular checks of her home, helping her to minimise any potential hazards. She carefully implements a range of policies and procedures that help to support her good practice. The childminder meets regularly with other childminders and local authority advisers to share ideas and help update her knowledge. She identifies her setting's strengths and some areas for development to help her to improve outcomes for children. For example, the childminder has enhanced her use of assessments to track children's progress across all areas of learning. This helps her to identify and address any gaps in their learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts very well with children. She happily engages in children's play and shows respect for their thoughts and ideas. The childminder extends children's learning through skilful questioning. For example, when cars leave the driveway, she asks children how many cars have gone and then how many are left. This helps to develop children's mathematical knowledge. The childminder is highly successful in supporting children's communication and language skills. Children have an extensive vocabulary and use words confidently. They initiate conversations, answer questions and are able to predict what will happen next in a story. The childminder attends training to benefit children and families who attend her provision. The childminder asks parents for detailed information when children first start. For example, she finds out about children's individual interests, their capabilities and their routines to help her to provide good

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop good physical skills and coordination. The childminder teaches children how to stay safe. There are plenty of opportunities for exercise and for children to take managed risks when they go on daily walks and trips to local parks. The childminder provides clear and consistent boundaries to help children to understand what is expected of them. She promotes the good health of children effectively. The childminder provides children with nutritious snacks and supports them to become independent in their personal care. She talks with children about the importance of eating healthy foods. The childminder is a positive role model who encourages children to be polite and helpful. She offers frequent praise during activities and daily routines.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children's progress is good. Children make decisions and work out how to do things for themselves. They are confident and keen to learn more. Children lead their own play and engage with others. They are emotionally secure and have effective social skills. They are well prepared for their next stage in learning, including the eventual move to nursery and school.
