who attend. This is good

The childminder provides a good range of activities to promote children's learning and development in all areas. Children are excited by activities and enjoy them. For example, children laugh and smile while making their own juice to drink. The childminder uses both the indoor and outdoor environment to support children's learning. Children use magnifying glasses to investigate the garden and extend their understanding of the environment. The childminder helps children gain the skills they need for school. They learn to write their names and count, and they become confident in their abilities. The childminder treats all children as individuals, to meet their needs. This is shown through her settling-in processes and relationships with parents. The childminder speaks clearly to the children, at their own height. She supports their understanding by talking to them about what they are doing, so that children's communication and language develops well.

p.3

good

The childminder provides children with opportunities to be active and engage in physical play, both in the garden and on outings. She teaches children about the importance of exercise and drinking water for their good health. Children receive a balanced diet as the childminder provides them with healthy, home-cooked meals. The childminder uses positive behavioural management strategies. She models how to share and take turns, and children behave well in the setting. The childminder praises children for their good behaviour and achievements, which builds their confidence and self-esteem. She ensures that she keeps children safe on outings, and she teaches them about road safety, to develop their understanding of keeping themselves safe.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She seeks the views of parents through questionnaires, to help her set targets for improvement and develop her practice. Parents provide positive feedback about the childminder's practice and the care their children receive. The childminder has effective planning and assessment in place and monitors children's progress and achievements closely. This results in the children having high quality care and learning opportunities throughout the day. The childminder has detailed policies and procedures that she implements to support her good practice. She shares these, as well as information about children's progress, with parents, to keep them well informed.
