The childminder thoroughly risk assesses her home, and teaches children how to keep themselves safe. The childminder evaluates her practice and provision well to help her to identify strengths and areas for improvement. For example, she has sought advice to enhance the way she checks children's progress so that she can plan their next steps.

The childminder plans interesting and exciting activities for the children to enjoy. She has a clear understanding of how children learn. She gathers information from parents to understand children's starting points and interests. She uses effective ways to promote all children's communication skills and develops children's literacy skills well. For example, she uses opportunities for older children to follow recipe cards to make play dough. She supports their understanding of mathematics well. For instance, she encourages them to count how many spoons of flour and salt are needed for the recipe. The childminder introduces mathematical language during everyday routines, such as when explaining to younger children what is happening next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is kind and nurturing, and has a positive relationship with the children. She provides a range of opportunities to encourage children's physical skills, and helps children to begin to understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and healthy eating. For example, children regularly visit the local farm to collect fresh eggs, and buy seasonal fruit for snacks. The childminder helps children to learn about different cultures and people around them. She models expected behaviour well, such as saying 'please' and 'thank you', and being respectful. Parents speak highly of the childminder, praising the good exchange of information about their children's day and their development.
