who attend. This is good

good

The childminder cares for children in a safe and warm environment. She implements effective health and safety procedures, including risk assessments to keep children safe. The childminder and her assistant have undertaken paediatric first-aid training to enable them to administer first aid during an emergency. The children form close attachments with the childminder, which means they settle quickly in her care. She encourages children's positive behaviour during play, therefore, they learn to take care of their toys and share resources with others. The childminder teaches children about road safety and about speaking to strangers in order to develop their awareness of danger. The childminder promotes children's good health and physical development through daily outdoor play opportunities and by providing healthy food choices.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has attended safeguarding training. As a result, she demonstrates a good understanding of her responsibility to safeguard and protect children. She implements effective policies and procedures for protecting children within her care. The assistant and all relevant members of the childminder's household have undertaken the required suitability checks. The childminder reflects on her practice and gains support from outside professionals to continuously improve the quality of her service. The childminder works closely with parents and this provides consistency in meeting children's learning and care needs. The childminder regularly monitors her assistant's performance to ensure children receive consistent care and learning experiences.
