p.3

provision

Children have easy access to an exciting variety of toys and learning resources which capture their interest and motivate them to learn. The childminder organises the environment to allow children to explore freely, thereby assisting them to become independent learners.

p.4

provision

Documentation and record keeping are very well organised, however, some permissions for emergency medical treatment or advice is missing. Consequently, children’s welfare is not fully protected. Her well written self evaluation accurately identifies her strengths and weaknesses. This has contributed to her understanding of the areas that she wishes to work on in order to improve the service she offers.

p.4

provision

The childminder understands the importance of liaising and working with parents to provide consistent and appropriate care for each child. Information recorded on the children helps to ensure that the needs of the children are securely met. Parents are made to feel very welcome and they comment that they are happy with the care their child receives.

The quality and standards of the early years provision

The enabling environment helps children to make progress in all areas of learning and development. Resources are easily accessible as they are stored at the children's level on open shelving and low-level units, this enables children to self- select and make choices in their learning and play. There is a wide range of toys and activities with a good balance of adult-led and child-led activities that help children to think critically and be active and creative learners.

The quality and standards of the early years provision

Children's language development is progressing as the childminder takes a great interest in developing children's love of books.

The childminder has worked hard to support children in their home language as well as developing their understanding of English. The children also enjoy music, singing and dancing which all encourage early communication and socialisation. They have particular fun as they join in with exercises and singing familiar songs. The children remind the childminder if she has forgotten to sing the tidy up song as they put away their toys.

The quality and standards of the early years provision

Planning for children includes good opportunities for children to benefit from daily outdoor play in the garden or the local community.

Children enjoyed making a globe and recognising continents of the world.
