who attend. This is good

Children are keen to participate in the broad range of activities and learning opportunities provided by the childminder. She takes into account children's individual interests and effectively plans the next stages in their learning. For example, children thoroughly enjoy making letters from their names with dough. This leads to a discussion about colours as they cut it into different sizes. The childminder promotes children's language development well. For example, they talked together about the animals and figures as they played farms. The childminder encourages children to talk about what they are doing during all of their play, which promotes their communication skills. As a result, the childminder prepares the children well for the next stage in their learning.

good

The childminder knows the children particularly well and talks warmly with them. She takes a genuine interest in what the children are saying and doing. This promotes their emotional well-being. Children are confident and independent. They follow good hygiene routines, such as blowing their noses and disposing of the tissues appropriately. They understand about healthy lifestyles and benefit from regular outings in the community where they develop their physical skills at the local park. Children behave well as they take turns and show consideration to others. For example, they work positively together to create their own play shop. Children confidently talk about the simple house rules in place, making sure they all follow them. They practise the evacuation procedures with the childminder to ensure they know what to do in an emergency.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder implements good procedures to monitor children's progress and evaluate all aspects of her provision. She attends training and continually reflects on what she is doing. This helps her make sure that she meets children's needs and helps them learn. The childminder has clear plans for developing the environment to create even more learning opportunities. For example, she plans to work with the children to create a bug hotel and a sensory area. She has made considerable progress since her last inspection, addressing all of the recommendations to improve outcomes for children. For example, she regularly shares information with other early years providers to support children with their learning and development. The childminder places a high emphasis on safeguarding children and provides a safe and secure environment. The childminder works closely with parents and gathers detailed information about their children's individual needs. This
