The moment of truth!!! :-D
Some of the findings from my recent Ofsted Inspection:

“The childminder is extremely caring…”

“The childminder is skilled at communicating with children to encourage them to express their own thoughts and ideas.”

“The childminder knows the children she cares for extremely well and consistently engages with them in a supportive way. She uses information gained from her assessments to plan a wide range of stimulating activities to support children's learning.”

“Children benefit from a range of well-planned activities and experiences. They develop a love for the outdoors when they regularly visit local nature reserves and woodland. They gain a variety of skills through activities such as building dens, making bark rubbings and balancing on tree stumps.”

“Children learn early mathematical skills as they develop their understanding of numbers, shapes, sizes and colours through meaningful experiences.”

“Children make good progress and are prepared well for their next stage of learning.”

“Older children who attend for after-school care are supported to make decisions and their ideas are valued.”

“Younger children have close, secure bonds with the childminder and like to cuddle up to her.”

“Children learn about good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before snack time and the importance of a healthy diet. Children behave well, as the childminder has a caring and nurturing approach which children respond positively to.”

“The childminder has established close working partnerships with parents, who are extremely happy with the care provided.”

“The childminder is committed to providing a safe environment to enable children to play safely both in and out of the setting.”

“She is very committed to developing her own skills through a wide range of training courses. For example, recent training on communication and language, forest childcare and mark making has supported her work and improved experiences and outcomes for children.”

“To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:
- consider ways to further encourage children's self-care and independence skills to support their personal development.”
