who attend. This is good

The childminder knows the children well and plans activities to suit their individual learning needs. As a result, children make good progress in their development towards the early learning goals. Children enjoy sharing their play experiences with the childminder. For example, older children set up a till and invited the childminder to buy from their play shop. They used their imagination to play the role of the shop keeper. The childminder pretended to pay money for her shopping and children pretended to give change. This promotes children's mathematical development. Younger children develop their understanding of the world as they explored electronic equipment. For example, they pressed buttons on the toy bus and observed the effect of flashing lights and sounds. The childminder sang a simple song to extend their learning further and children joined in. This builds on children's communication and language skills. Therefore, the childminder helps

The childminder is friendly and caring in her interactions with children. Therefore, children form trusting relationships with her, which has a positive impact on their emotional well- being. The childminder offers lots of praise to acknowledge children's achievements. Consequently, this motivates them and develops their self-esteem. Children learn to care for the environment as they work as a team to tidy up after play. Therefore, children learn to share and play well. The childminder regularly shares information with parents to update them of their children's day and encourage them to continue children's education at home. This helps to promote continuity of their care routines, learning and development.

provision is good

The childminder has a secure understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She makes good use of guidance documents to monitor children's development. This helps her to effectively identify any gaps in their learning and plan for improvements. Furthermore, she continually reflects on her training needs to raise the quality of teaching. For example, she plans to attend further training to develop her use of observation and assessment. Therefore, further strengthening her skills in planning precisely for children's learning. Consequently, she effectively meets individual children's learning needs. The childminder completes regular fire drills with children to ensure they are familiar with the procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. This helps to keep children safe.
