The childminder implements effective systems to assess children's starting points and support their ongoing learning and development. She engages well with parents to establish what children enjoy and can do at home, and observes children during their play.

speaking Mandarin and French. Children enjoy exploring creative materials as they build models using play dough and the childminder encourages them further in this area to develop their imaginative skills.

good

Children have a strong and close relationship with the childminder. They show through their interactions with her that they feel safe and secure. This helps to promote children's personal, social and emotional development. The childminder encourages children to be careful as they use new equipment and to clear away before moving onto the next activity. This helps children to become independent and to develop an understanding about their safety. The childminder promotes good manners and gives children lots of praise. She further encourages children to behave well so they learn to develop an understanding of behaviour expectations. The childminder provides children with nutritional snacks and regular opportunities to explore their local environment in order to develop their physical health and well-being.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She successfully implements policies to support children's health, safety and well- being. All the required documentation is in place to promote children's welfare. She effectively monitors children's learning needs by closely assessing and reviewing children's progress to identify any gaps in learning. This has a positive impact on the progress children make and prepares them well for the next stage in their learning. The childminder monitors her practice well to maintain good standards. She establishes strong partnerships with other providers and is supportive to ensure consistency in meeting children's learning and care needs.
