p.1

Leadership and governance Expected standard

The childminder leads her setting with care and thought. She is clear that she wants to offer a small nurturing provision, where children are known well and receive the individual support they need. She talks confidently about what she does well and is honest about the areas she still wants to strengthen. She has a secure understanding of important early years foundation stage requirements, including safeguarding, daily checks, supervision, accidents, allergies and medication. She also recognises and understands that ongoing professional development is important in helping her build her knowledge and maintain a good standard of care and education.

p.1

Leadership and governance Expected standard

The childminder is still developing her understanding of how to plan and deliver a clear curriculum, but she shows a positive attitude to improving this area. She wants children to feel safe, valued and ready to learn. She explains how she would use praise, songs, play and purposeful activities to support children's communication, behaviour, physical development and confidence. She has relevant experience of supporting children with special educational needs and or disabilities, including children with communication and sensory needs, and understands when to seek advice from parents and other professionals, such as the local authority or a special education needs coordinator. Her links with local schools also help her to think about children's transitions and the next stage in their learning.

p.1

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Partnerships with parents are important. The childminder values daily conversations and messages, listens to parents and works with them so that children receive consistent support at home and in her care. She understands her own capacity and remains clear that she wants to stay small so she can continue to meet children's needs well. Overall, leadership and governance are effective. The childminder is caring, reflective and committed to improving her practice. She plans to keep her professional development up to date, including in inclusion and the care of younger children, so that she continues to build the knowledge and confidence needed to plan and deliver a consistently high-quality curriculum.

About this inspection

We carried out this inspection under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of provision that is registered on the Early Years Register. The registered person must ensure that this provision complies with the statutory framework for children's learning, development and care, known as the early years foundation stage.

About this inspection

There were no early years children present and/or on roll at the time of this inspection. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with leaders and an inspection of the premises, equipment and any relevant documentation. When there are no early years children present, inspectors evaluate and grade only leadership and governance, as there is no reliable evidence from other evaluation areas through which to assess the impact on children.
