This provision is good

n The childminder is very responsive to children and parents. She sources training in response to the needs of the children in her care to keep her skills up to date and effective. n The childminder listens and responds to the children. She offers a range of developmentally appropriate activities that the children enjoy. The childminder sends a monthly review of each child's progress home to parents. n Assessments are carried out and developmental delays identified early. These are addressed so that children make good progress and are given the help they may need to catch up before school. n Children feel safe at the setting, and there is an emphasis on taking turns and sharing. n The childminder does not give children the language of feelings. For example, she praises children for waiting but does not talk about how the need to wait can be frustrating. n The childminder offers a range of fresh vegetables and fruit but does not talk to the

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The children are kept safe as they engage in play and made aware of how to stay safe. The childminder allowed children to stand on a bench so that they felt the need to balance. She kept them safe by holding on to them and talking about the importance of being careful. The childminder told the children that they had to wait until their soup cooled down before they could eat it, as hot soup might burn their mouths. Parents are given information and helped to source two-year-old funding as well as the 30 hours funding for three- and four-year-olds. The childminder promotes diversity and equality through the range of storybooks available to the children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is learning Makaton to allow the children in her care to communicate more easily at home and within the setting. She has shared the information on Makaton with parents. A bubble-blowing activity helped the children to develop the muscles used for speech. The children developed their understanding of the world around them as they picked strawberries and talked about the cherries on the cherry tree in the garden. The children developed their early literacy skills as they looked at an alphabet book and enthusiastically sang along to the letter sounds as they clapped and did the actions to the songs. The childminder promoted language development well by introducing a new word as she shared a storybook, repeating the word in different contexts until the children understood it. Children were excited to develop their self-help skills and physical development through using a big sponge to clean chalk off a blackboard outside and by

painting outside with water and brushes. The childminder was responsive to the children's early mathematical development as she encouraged their interest in naming colours. The children have access to board and paper books in Swedish and English to help them develop an understanding of cultures other than their own.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is very clear about the boundaries she expects the children to respect, and their behaviour is good as a result. The children praise each other and share resources well. The childminder calmly repeats requests that the children wait their turn and praises them for waiting. Children are encouraged to dress and undress themselves when they use the potty, and they put on their own shoes. The childminder helps children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. Children took their own sleep toys and dummies with them to their afternoon nap and reminded the childminder to get these comforters for their peers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The childminder ensures that the children in her care make good progress through carrying out detailed developmental checks when the children are aged between two and three years. She contacts parents when she identifies delays and asks them if they want her to source help from outside agencies. The childminder has links with local Early Help professionals and has supported parents in accessing them. This results in all children making the progress they need to be ready for the next stage in their learning.
