The provision is good

The childminder builds very warm relationships with children, who very quickly settle in to her routines. Children show high levels of confidence as they play. The childminder makes good use of the information she gathers from parents about children's experiences and interests. She builds well on what children already know. The childminder plans enjoyable activities for children, both in her home and in the local area. Although planned activities engage children well, they sometimes lack the challenge needed for children to think and solve problems. Children show that they develop good communication and language skills. The childminder uses consistently positive interactions and supports children well during activities. Children show that they understand rules when playing games. They demonstrate excitement and pleasure as they share achievements with the childminder. For example, they jump up and down when goals are scored during football games.

The provision is good

Children demonstrate that they acquire positive social skills. The childminder helps children to develop a strong sense of themselves and builds self-esteem. For example, she engages children in conversation when they speak with her about their families and experiences when away from her setting. Opportunities for children to learn about each other's languages, cultures and traditions are less well developed.
