She uses the information effectively to plan activities that promote children's learning so that they make good progress.  The childminder is caring and supportive, and forms good relationships with children.

who attend. This is good

The childminder keeps parents well informed about children's progress and identified learning priorities so they can continue learning at home. However, the childminder is not actively encouraging all parents to share their observations to aid her planning. The childminder interacts effectively with children and extends their learning as they play. She helps children become confident speakers who have good communication skills. At the inspection, the childminder repeated and reinforced words with children as they chatted together about what they were doing. She introduced mathematical language and children counted in English and French. Children developed a good understanding of space and measure as they played with water. They showed good coordination as they poured the marbles down the chutes. They are developing the skills they need to move on to school successfully.

good

The childminder promotes children's good health competently as she provides plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy exercise. She teaches them good personal hygiene practices. She encourages children to use tissues at the sneezing stations. The childminder teaches children to share resources. She helps them develop good social skills so that they play amicably with their friends. At the inspection, children were happy, content and enjoying being with the childminder. They responded positively to the childminder as she helped them negotiate when there was a dispute. Children showed good self-care skills as they used knives safely to cut up their fruit. The childminder encouraged children to have a go and gave them support as needed. She gives high priority to keeping children safe and takes the necessary measures to minimise hazards effectively.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of the safeguarding and welfare requirements. She has completed safeguarding training and has a good understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns. The childminder works closely with parents to meet children's welfare needs and promote their well-being. She makes sure she respects the wishes of parents and reflects children's home languages in her setting so that they feel included. The childminder shows she is keen to develop her skills and practices. She has made positive improvements, such as extending sensory activities and introducing bags with props that represent children's favourite songs. These help develop children's skills in expressive arts.
