p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has appropriate knowledge of the signs and symptoms that would cause concern about a child's welfare and how to take appropriate action. The childminder's home is safe and secure. She understands the importance of regular professional development to help her reflect on her practice. For example, the childminder makes good use of her local authority network group. Parental feedback reflects satisfaction with the quality of care and teaching experiences offered to children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play confidently in a welcoming, friendly environment. She provides opportunities for children to explore a good range of interesting and age-appropriate resources. The childminder has a secure understanding of children's varying stages of development and what they can achieve. She provides children with enjoyable opportunities to develop their language skills. For example, collecting resources in the room which is told in the story. Children develop mathematical skills. An example of this is asking, 'How many ducks do you have? Can you get me another one?' Children are enthused as the childminder picks up a circle. 'Can you find a circle?' This is further extended by looking for various shapes, with a specific colour, such as asking if they can see the green triangle.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to develop good hygiene routines and begin to manage their personal care. For example, young children learn to wash and dry their hands before eating. Snack provided is healthy and nutritious. Children enjoy their time with the childminder. She makes good use of the local area to extend children's experiences. For example, children go to the park daily. They benefit from regular opportunities to play and learn outside which allows for the children to have fresh air and exercise. Children also benefit from accessing activities from the local community groups which further promotes aspects of their physical play. This also helps children to learn about the wider community and to gain respect for others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and develop the skills needed for the next stage in their learning and school. Children are independent and initiate their own ideas to extend their learning.
