The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder efficiently observes children, tracks their development and plans for their next steps of learning. As a result, the childminder is able to ensure children are progressing at the expected rates for their age.  The childminder forms good relationships with the children and allows them to be independent in their learning, as she follows their lead in play and conversations.  There is a good range of resources available for the children, which supports learning during their free play.  The childminder works well with parents and frequently shares information with them regarding their children's development.

who attend. This is good

Children benefit from a good range of stimulating resources, which the childminder uses to promote opportunities for learning in all areas. The childminder identifies each child's individual interests and stage of development in order to plan challenging activities for them. As a result, children are progressing well. The childminder observes children during planned activities and free play, and uses this information to track their development. The childminder follows the children's lead in conversations and during their play, and asks questions to extend their thoughts and learning. For example, as children discuss the taste of fruits they are eating, she asks where the fruit comes from and how they could get there. As a result, the children are eager to learn and are fully engaged during activities.

p.3

good

The childminder has formed warm relationships with the children and, as a result, they are happy and secure in her care. Children feel valued as the childminder displays photographs of them taking part in activities and supplies resources that reflect a range of different cultures. The childminder becomes familiar with their home lives and displays maps to show where they and their families come from. The childminder promotes children's growing independence. For example, she encourages them to cut up their own fruit at snack time and carry out their personal hygiene routines. The childminder uses mealtimes well by making these sociable times. For example, she has discussions with children about activities they have enjoyed with her. The childminder keeps children safe and limits hazards to the children by completing daily risk assessments, indoors and outdoors.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibilities in safeguarding children. She has attended relevant training and she is confident in recognising signs of abuse and aware of the required reporting procedures. The childminder has formed good relationships with parents and regularly shares information with them regarding the children's development. Parents complete questionnaires to provide the childminder with their views. The childminder works with other settings that the children attend in order to provide continuity in their learning. She has a positive approach to self-evaluation and uses tools, such as the self-evaluation form, to help her reflect on her practice and identify areas to improve.
