who attend. This is good

The childminder engages effectively with parents and involves them in their children's learning well. She regularly shares information about children's achievements and values parents' positive contributions. This helps to support children's learning at home. The childminder has a strong awareness of how to encourage and promote children's learning and development. She carefully assesses where children are in their learning and uses this information alongside their interests to plan activities that motivate and engage children. As a result, children develop skills ready for their future learning. The childminder skilfully enhances children's chosen play experiences. For example, children chose to look at books with the childminder. The childminder provided a commentary as she read to the children and encouraged them to take part in role play relating to the story. The children joined in with the repeated phrases in the books and showed good levels of engagement and

good

The childminder's home is welcoming and safe for children. She responds quickly and efficiently to children's individual needs and requirements. Children benefit from regular trips to toddler groups and children's centres to develop their social skills. This helps to prepare children well for the move to other early years settings, such as school. Children have plenty of opportunities to be active and engage in physical play both in the garden and on outings to parks and the woods. Children develop independence as the childminder encourages them to do things for themselves. They delight in their ability to put on their shoes independently. Children make their own choices about their play as they choose from the toys and resources. They learn to keep safe as they practise emergency evacuations and learn about road safety.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of the learning and development requirements and understands how to safeguard children. She regularly reviews risks, which enables her to keep her home safe and secure. The childminder is highly reflective in her practice. She attends training and undertakes her own research to strengthen her knowledge. This allows her to constantly develop her setting and improve the learning outcomes for children. As a result, children are happy, enthusiastic and achieve well in their learning due to the efficient planning and provision of a range of activities. The childminder informs parents about her policies and procedures to help them understand her service. Effective partnerships with other early years settings help to promote a consistent approach to supporting and meeting children's individual needs.
