who attend. This is good

The childminder observes and assesses children when they first start and therefore, she knows their learning and care needs well. She provides children with good opportunities to develop their physical skills outside. For example, young children demonstrate good coordination skills as they correctly roll a large ball towards the childminder while being steady on their feet and then run to chase and pick it up quickly. The childminder provides effective activities to promote children's mathematical development. For example, when children play with the sand, she provides opportunities for them to develop skills in measuring, weighing and using tools, such as funnels and sieves to skilfully problem solve. The childminder promotes children's language and emerging vocabulary well. For example, she talks to them about the sounds they can hear when observing aeroplanes flying by. The childminder effectively promotes children's social skills; she reads to

children, engages them in singing sessions as well as group games. Children have opportunities to develop their creative skills, for example, by engaging in hand-printing activities. However, the childminder misses opportunities to provide a wider range of materials and resources to stimulate children's ideas further.

p.3

good

The childminder effectively promotes children's understanding of healthy lifestyles in her daily routines. She provides children with healthy, nutritious meals and encourages regular exercise. The childminder actively helps children to understand the differences in people, which promotes their respect for others. For example, she provides a diverse range of play resources and teaches them about various cultural festivals and celebrations. The childminder promotes children's good behaviour. As a result, they know how to behave well. Furthermore, children develop a good understanding of safety through daily discussions to promote their awareness of keeping safe. The childminder helps children prepare for the next stage of their learning by working closely with schools and by sharing relevant information.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder robustly implements the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She regularly assesses risks in her home and garden in order to remove any hazards. Therefore, children are safe to explore. The childminder regularly self-evaluates the quality of her provision to help identify any areas for development and make improvements to benefit children in her care. She has established good links with other childminders to strengthen her practice further. The childminder shares information with parents about their children's development and offers ideas to help continue their learning at home.
