Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge of her responsibilities associated with child protection. She has recently completed safeguarding refresher training and also wider safeguarding courses to ensure her knowledge is up to date. Professional development impacts positively on the quality of service. The childminder places high priority on keeping children safe and secure. She regularly checks children are happy and safe and completes detailed risk assessments of her home and outings. The childminder closely monitors children's progress and quickly identifies and addresses gaps in learning as these arise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder's interactions and teaching are good. She provides sufficient challenge and each activity incorporates increasing levels of difficulty. This helps to retain children's engagement, curiosity and extend their learning, overall. For example, children enjoy categorising different coloured items. They count in sequence and sort objects. Children extend their critical-thinking skills and practise mathematics during this stimulating activity. Children investigate a range of natural resources, such as shells, pine cones, twigs and leaves. They explore with curiosity and excitement. Children talk about what they can see, describing the shells as 'shiny' and 'smooth'. Discussions relating to children's play help support communication skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder creates a positive, safe and happy environment for children. Children's sense of self-worth is nurtured through genuine and ongoing praise. Children demonstrate pride in their efforts and achievements. For instance, they approach the visiting inspector to share their delight and enjoyment in their play. Children are confident and self-assured. Children are encouraged to take manageable risks. They are closely supervised and safety is paramount. Children climb and balance on large outdoor play equipment, building confidence and raising self-esteem. The childminder provides nutritious foods. For instance, at snack time children enjoy a range of fresh fruit. Furthermore, they discuss the effect food has on their bodies, making them, 'Big and strong'. Children develop a positive attitude to healthy eating, contributing to their good physical health.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen and energetic about their learning and make good progress from their starting points. Children contribute to discussions and answer questions as they play. They develop good conversational skills and their physical skills are secure. For instance, children climb slide steps, balance on scooters and rock on see saws. They run with ease and develop good physical skills. Children acquire necessary skills and prepare well for the eventual move to school.
