The provision is good

The childminder has high expectations. She strongly encourages children's independence and provides a good range of resources for children to choose for themselves. The childminder regularly introduces children to new toys and games that match their interests or needs. For example, she plays a counting and matching game that closely reflects their stage of mathematical development. The childminder is reflective and well organised. However, she recognises that there is scope to focus further on developing the quality of teaching to even higher levels. The childminder is a positive role model to the children in her care. She speaks to them in a calm, friendly and conversational manner. Children enjoy being with her. They appreciate the full attention that the childminder gives to them.

n The childminder knows the children she cares for well. She makes accurate ongoing assessment of what they already know and need to learn next.

They take turns, share and tidy up willingly. Children know and follow the routines well. The childminder helps children to understand differences and similarities in their immediate and wider communities. For example, she helps them explore different occupations, such as hairdressing, through their role play or through celebrations like Diwali and Christmas. n The childminder has strong relationships with parents.

6 November 2019 She attends training and networks with other childminders to gather new ideas. However, she has not fully explored professional development opportunities to further strengthen her knowledge of teaching to the highest levels. n The childminder strongly develops children's understanding of a positive and healthy attitude. For example, she creates exciting role-play opportunities to help children develop an understanding of the importance of good dental health. She teaches children to develop their physical skills well. For instance, she teaches them to make the swing go higher by pushing their feet forwards and backwards. n The childminder works closely with other settings that children attend to provide continuity in their care. For example, she discusses the books, stories and themes that the children are studying at nursery and reflects this in her own practice. As a result, children's appreciation for well-known children's stories,

such as 'Stick Man', is greatly enhanced. n Children are well prepared for the next stage of their education. They make a smooth transition to school. Children are curious and eager to learn and develop their knowledge and skills. For example, they build their early writing skills well.

For example, she encourages them to understand the importance of listening and following instructions during fire practices.
