who attend

The childminder provides an environment that is highly stimulating, nurturing and safe for children. He has a secure knowledge and understanding of how to promote the learning and development of young children. The quality of teaching is consistently good. The childminder ensures that he provides a wide variety of exciting and motivating activities tailored to meet each child's interests. As a result, children are keen learners and making good progress in their learning and development. The childminder completes regular observations and uses them effectively to plan for children's next steps in their learning. He obtains information from parents at the beginning of a placement to gain an understanding of children's starting points. This helps him to meet children's individual needs effectively. The childminder involves parents with their child's learning by sharing information about the activities he will be doing with the children. This encourages parents

p.3

who attend

to keep the childminder informed about how they support their children's learning at home. The childminder organises his home well to support children's independence. However, there are few labels, pictures or object templates in the environment, to help extend children's understanding that words and print carry meaning to help them identify where things belong when tidying up and selecting toys of their choice.

p.3

who attend

Children are gaining good mathematical skills. For example, the childminder provides number games to support children's mathematical development. Children are learning how to count in sequence and have good access to puzzles to develop their problem solving skills. The childminder supports children's communication and language development well. For example, he encourages them to record their voices so they can hear themselves speaking. Children enjoy looking for letters of their name that the childminder places around the setting. They concentrate well as they work out how to display the letters on a white board to spell their names. Books are very accessible on child height shelves so children can help themselves. The childminder ensures that a selection of the children's favourite stories and reference books are always available. This helps to develop their growing interest in literacy. The childminder supports children's social development well.

p.3

who attend

Children sit together at meal times. The childminder encourages the children to talk to each other about their day at school. This helps children form positive relationships.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The childminder's home is very child centred and he provides a good range of age appropriate resources. The childminder makes the best use of the space within his home. This helps children to enjoy their play and benefit from good quality learning experiences that keep them well engaged. Children have settled well in the childminder's care. He ensures that he divides his time effectively so that children get equal attention during their time with him. This helps to build their self-esteem and confidence. Children behave well and build good relationships with each other. They are learning to share and negotiate, and take turns when playing. Good behaviour is valued. The childminder encourages this through giving consistent praise and encouragement of children's achievements.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The childminder encourages the children to make healthy choices about what they eat and drink. He ensures that a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables are part of their daily diet. Children are encouraged to help themselves to healthy snacks when they arrive back from school. This helps to ensure they are developing a good understanding of why it is important to eat well. Children walk to and from school and enjoy regular outings to local parks where they can play ball games, use slides, swings and climbing frames. This helps them to recognise the importance of physical exercise. Children are learning about the importance of good hygiene through their daily routine and to manage their own personal needs well. They understand that they need to wash their hands before meal times to prevent germs. Children are emotionally secure and ready for their next stage of learning. The childminder supports children well during their transition to school. For example,

helping them learn letter sounds and introducing them to books and other materials that provide information or instructions for them to follow.
