who attend. This is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. Consequently, they receive effective support to help them make good progress across the areas of learning in preparation for school. Overall, children's independence and physical skills are developing well. The childminder is proactive in enabling them to move around the environment and choose their own resources. Children are developing early communication skills well. This is because the childminder uses clear language while repeating words. Babies listen to and imitate sounds. However, the childminder plans few opportunities for some children to consolidate their learning by using their home language in their play. Parents provide information about what children can already do and the childminder uses this to inform her planning to meet children's needs and interests. The childminder uses observations, assessments and tracking effectively to identify and target children's next steps in

learning. This is shared with parents through regular review meetings and reports. As a result, all children progress well from their starting points.

p.3

good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to support children's emotional well- being and confidence. She praises and reassures children during daily activities, supporting confidence and self-esteem. Consequently, they learn to be sociable and develop close relationships with the childminder. They are motivated, happy and interested as they explore. The childminder ensures children develop a good understanding of healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities for regular exercise in the local parks and toddler groups. Parents provide healthy snacks and meals. However, the childminder does not currently use snack and meal times to extend children's independence by helping children to use fingers, spoons and cups to feed themselves. Children behave very well. They learn to play with others through activities that support them to share and take turns.

p.3

provision is good

Children's learning and development is well promoted because the childminder has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The childminder takes necessary steps to identify all risks to children and implements effective fire safety measures to keep children safe. The childminder strives for continuous improvement and undertakes ongoing training opportunities to improve her skills. She effectively evaluates the service she provides and shows a clear drive for continuous improvement working closely with her local authority advisor to make effective changes.
