p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
The childminder provides an interesting and stimulating environment for children to learn. Children are engaged and motivated to join in with their activities. The childminder encourages children's independence, for example, they show awareness of their own self-care and are able to put on shoes and coats when going out. The childminder offers children a range of outings to, for example, parks or local community and playgroups where children meet and socialise with children of similar ages. The childminder is encouraging of how children learn to respect each other. For instance, older children understand her expectations for turn taking and sharing resources. For example, they kindly pass younger children a rolling pin and dough to invite them into their play.
