My Summary

My Experience

OFSTED Inspection Report: 14 February 2018
Inspection findings:

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good.

The childminder evaluates the service she provides. She involves parents in this process to identify areas where she can improve further. For example, she has identified that she would like to extend her knowledge in supporting children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities. The childminder tracks the progress of children's achievements to help her to identify any gaps in their learning. She knows how to seek help from other relevant professionals, if necessary, to help ensure that all children make good progress. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps her knowledge of this area up to date. For instance, she has recently undertaken further training relating to child protection. She has a secure understanding of how to recognise when a child is at risk and what to do if she has any concerns. The childminder assesses her home regularly and minimises hazards to ensure that children can play safely in her care.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good.

The childminder has a good understanding of how to support children's learning, for example, by playing alongside them and helping them to explore. Children welcome the childminder's involvement in their play. The childminder keeps parents regularly informed about their children's learning and development. For example, she shares information effectively through daily contact sheets and regular progress reports, and she gives parents ideas for activities at home. This supports good continuity in children's experiences. The childminder supports younger children's communication and language skills well. For example, she ensures they have eye contact with her, responds well to their vocalisations and models language to help children to make good progress.
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good.
The childminder supports non-mobile babies well to develop their physical skills. For example, they are supported with time on the floor to learn to roll, crawl and shuffle. The childminder supports babies to develop good independence skills, such as learning to hold beakers and drink from open cups. The childminder helps children to understand about their personal safety. For example, she provides parents with story books to read at home to help children to learn about keeping themselves safe when using the internet.

Outcomes for children are good.

Young children engage in play for long periods in activities that interest them, such as banging objects together and placing them in baskets. They enjoy exploring musical resources and they press buttons and keys to produce noises. Young children develop skills to support their early literacy. For instance, they curiously explore books, turning the pages with interest. Children benefit from their time with the childminder. They learn valuable skills to prepare them for future learning and in readiness for school.
