My first Ofsted inspection was carried
out in April 2009. I was awarded a grade 2 (Good) for my setting
throughout all the inspection criteria Comments from the
inspection: "She
has introduced a system of planning that ensures all children
enjoy their time in the setting and make good progress towards
the early learning goals"
"The environment is safe, comfortable and steps are
taken to ensure all children are included and involved in a wide
range of interesting activities"
"The childminder works in partnership with parents and carers,
valuing their contributions and fully involving them in all
aspects of the child's care and well being"
"The childminder interacts very
well with the children, actively engaging in their play and
encouraging them to have fun. She talks to them gently and
explains what they are doing and why and also what is planned.
She engages their interest by building on what they enjoy and
gives them sufficient time and attention to support their
learning and development effectively"
