She has a strong regard for children's safety and takes action to minimise risks.

The childminder monitors children's learning to identify and close any gaps in their progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children to make good progress. She uses the observations of children's learning to identify their next steps in learning. For example, the childminder purchased resources to provide enjoyable activities to support children's early writing skills. Children make choices about their play and learning and freely explore the range of toys available. The childminder provides resources to support children's learning at home. For example, children take home books to share with their families. Children develop their mathematical skills. They learn to recognise shapes during their play, such as when drawing. They use mathematical language during discussions, such as talking about the 'middle' of an egg.

For example, when playing with toy fire engines the childminder engages children in conversation about what to do in an emergency. The childminder celebrates children's achievements with children. Children are proud of their artwork and keen to share their achievements with their families. They feel safe and secure with the childminder. Children develop confidence and their self-esteem well. They are confident to ask for help or support when needed.
