who attend. This is good

The childminder provides challenging activities that promote children's learning, appropriate to their ages and stages of development. She provides interesting natural materials for babies to explore, and toys that help to develop their hand and finger muscles. For example, babies explore and examine a toy hammer; they hammer pegs into round holes then take them out and put them back while the childminder talks to them about the colours and counts them. These experiences support babies' physical development and promote their language and concentration. This type of activity helps children to learn the skills they need to grip a pencil, in preparation for learning to write, and also teaches them early mathematical concepts. The childminder responds to babies' babbling and makes good eye contact to maintain their interest. She understands how children's needs change as they grow older. She provides resources and activities to

ensure children are prepared well for their future learning at school.

good

The childminder provides a warm, comfortable and nurturing home environment where babies and young children feel safe and secure. She works closely in partnership with parents to ensure she meets children's individual needs. Sleeping facilities are safe and cosy. Babies chuckle when the childminder interacts playfully with them. The childminder provides children with healthy and balanced diets. Older children learn to prepare their own food ready for cooking. Children are safe in the childminder's care because she understands how to protect them and how to report any concerns about their well-being. The childminder takes babies and young children out daily for fresh air and exercise. They go to the park and museums, and enjoy music sessions at the library. The childminder takes children into the local community where they can socialise and meet people from a variety of backgrounds.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She understands how children learn and encourages their imaginations and creativity, particularly when playing indoors. She has addressed the recommendations from her previous inspection by undertaking specific training and by working closely with the local authority development team. The childminder observes the children in her care and assesses the next stages in their learning. She monitors children's progress in a variety of ways to ensure she is meeting their needs in all areas. The childminder works with parents and other professionals to ensure good outcomes for children and support for families. Parents complete questionnaires which help the childminder to reflect on her practice and develop clear action plans for future improvements.
