Leadership and governance Expected standard

The childminder has a clear vision for her setting. She is able to reflect on areas she believes are a strength of her setting and what she wants to build on. For example, her outdoor area is well developed and gives children opportunities to develop their physical skills. She also uses her links with other local childminders to support this. She explains that she will develop children's emotional wellbeing and exploration through following the children's interests and ensuring they feel safe and secure in her care. She will support behaviour by encouraging children to build relationships with others and play together using skills such as sharing and turn-taking. The childminder understands how to adapt her teaching and activities to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

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 only evaluate and grade leadership and governance as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess the impact on children of other evaluation areas.
