As a result, children develop strong emotional attachments with the childminder and feel secure.  The childminder organises her provision well and has a good understanding of how to keep children safe and well.  The childminder establishes good communication and partnerships with parents. Therefore, she provides a consistent approach to meeting children's needs.

who attend. This is good

The childminder plans a good mix of child-initiated and adult-led activities for children. Children explored treasure baskets. The childminder encouraged them to talk about the colours and textures of pine cones and other resources. Therefore, she promotes children's communication and language development effectively. The childminder sings rhymes and songs in different languages and enables children to explore musical instruments from different countries. Therefore, she promotes children's understanding of diversity well. The childminder uses picture cards to encourage children's language and understanding of letters. However, during some planned activities, the childminder does not give children enough time to follow their interests. Therefore, she does not fully encourage their independent learning at such times. Children recognise their names on cards when they enter the setting. They practise putting on their shoes and coats before

going outdoors. These opportunities help children to develop different skills ready for school.

p.3

good

Children enter the setting happily and settle well. This is because the childminder takes time to get to know individual children and their interests. She is sensitive to children's individual needs, for example as they hold on to comforters to help them develop confidence. The childminder encourages children to take turns. She talks to them about sharing and being kind. As a result, children behave well and learn to manage their own behaviour. Children benefit from daily fresh air and exercise. They eat healthy meals and snacks. Children enjoyed running around the garden, kicking balls and digging in the soil. These activities promote children's physical development and their understanding of healthy lifestyles.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She has effective policies and procedures in place which she shares with parents. The childminder has a good understanding of the procedures to follow to safeguard children and her policies follow local procedures. She keeps records of children's attendance, accidents and any medication they need. Permissions from parents are in place and the childminder completes daily risk assessments. These measures promote children's safety and well-being effectively. The childminder observes children and plans activities to promote their next stages of development. Consequently, they make good progress towards the early learning goals. Parents make positive comments about the childminder. They are happy with progress their children make and the care they receive.
