The childminder carries out comprehensive observations and assessments on children's development. This ensures she identifies and closes any gaps in development early. The childminder promotes children's mathematical understanding effectively. Children enjoy matching and sorting cards and learning different sounds and letters, which extends their language skills. Children are eager to play outside in the garden and are excited about water play. The childminder provides watering cans, funnels, and jugs, which help children to experiment with natural resources and learn about weight and measure. The childminder provides stimulating role-play activities, which promotes children's social and emotional development. For example, children build friendships as they share and take turns.

The childminder helps children to develop positive attitudes about the wider community outside their own.

For example, she encourages them to wash their hands before meals and after using the toilet. The childminder offers children healthy meals and drinks to build their early understanding of healthy lifestyles. The childminder establishes good links with staff at the local schools to help children prepare for full-time education. She teaches children about safety, for instance, the importance of road safety. Therefore, children learn to cross the road safely when she takes them out on trips.

provision is good

The childminder's good understanding of safeguarding procedures promotes children's well-being. She knows how to identify any concerns and report these to the relevant agencies. The childminder removes possible hazards that may harm children, so that they are safe. Strong partnership between the childminder and parents ensure children's good progress. She shares children's next steps and invites parents to contribute to their child's learning. The childminder establishes effective links with other professionals, so that every child's needs are met effectively. The childminder drives improvement and implements good self-evaluation systems. She is part of a childminding network, which means she evaluates her practice regularly so that children benefit.
