who attend. This is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge and understanding of her role in supporting children's learning. She provides a good range of toys and resources and she plans interesting activities to support children to make good progress in all areas of learning. She observes children at play regularly to highlight their achievements, and she completes accurate records to demonstrate that they are making good progress. Children have good opportunities to develop their creative skills. They enjoy arts and craft activities where they use different materials such as pasta, rice and cereal to make interesting pictures. Children show that they are happy and relaxed as they engage in their own made-up games and follow their interests. The childminder follows their lead well to involve herself in their play.

p.3

good

Children benefit from and enjoy the close and caring relationships that they have formed with the childminder. They are well behaved, play cooperatively together and respond well to the childminder's requests. Overall, the childminder talks to children well about what they are doing and she repeats new words to promote their language development. Children demonstrate good levels of concentration as they sit and listen to stories and spend their time engaged purposefully in activities. They benefit from regular trips to toddler groups to develop their social skills and confidence, and they develop good physical skills through outdoor activities and trips to the park. These skills help prepare children for their next stages of their learning as they prepare to move on to nursery.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder organises herself well and she maintains all the required documentation to underpin her practice. The childminder meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage effectively and she monitors her provision through the effective systems that she has in place. For example, she reflects on her practice regularly to identify areas for improvement and her training needs. She uses information gathered at training to make improvements. She works well with parents to ensure children's needs are met, and she demonstrates a positive attitude to working in partnership with others to promote good outcomes for children.
