p.1

The provision is good

The childminder has created a safe environment for children to learn in. Children enjoy exploring the well-planned learning environment both indoors and outside in the large garden. Toy boxes are easily accessible to children so that they can see what is inside, and can select what they want to play with.

p.2

The provision is good

Children demonstrate curiosity and concentrate well during group activities. For example, they spent time carefully stacking various-sized disks onto a threaded corkscrew pole. They took turns to stack and watch the patterns made as the disks spun down to the bottom.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave very well for their age. The childminder has high expectations of their behaviour. She uses verbal praise and effective behaviour strategies. These help children to learn how to manage their own behaviour.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder supports the development of children's early communication and language skills. She uses stories, songs and rhymes to engage them and support their speech, concentration and listening skills.

n Children enjoy sharing books and regularly visit the library. They learn to listen and concentrate as they sit for story time with the childminder. To help children enjoy stories, the childminder asks them questions about what they see in books. She encourages them to point to illustrations, turn pages and make noises relating to characters and events. n The childminder interacts well with children and builds on their experiences and learning effectively. She regularly assesses children's progress by using written observations and photographic evidence. n Children are encouraged to learn about the world around them. They take part in regular outings within the local community. For example, children explore the park, and visit messy play and toddler groups. This helps to support their growing curiosity and to develop new interests. n The childminder is committed to building good relationships with children and

need to do better?

15 January 2020 n The childminder has a very effective settling procedure for children. As a result, strong and positive attachments between children and the childminder have been formed, and children are confident and emotionally secure. n Children benefit from a broad range of activities and resources that motivate them to explore and follow their interests. As a result, children make good progress from their starting points. n The childminder teaches consistent routines and boundaries. For example, very young children busily joined in with tidying toys before they began another activity. The childminder understands the importance of familiar routines for children and knows that this is one way of helping them to understand what will happen next. n Children hear and use mathematical language regularly during play. For example, they counted ducks while sharing a story and construction pieces while building a train. They also discussed the repeating patterns on their bags.

n Children learn to be kind to each other, to share and take turns. They grow in confidence with the affection and praise that they receive from the childminder. n The childminder completes training and research, and shares ideas with a wider childminding group to help her to improve and increase the opportunities she provides for children. n The childminder regularly evaluates her provision to ensure that she provides the highest quality care and learning for children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder understands her responsibility to protect children in her care. She understands signs and symptoms which may indicate a concern about the welfare of a child, including abuse, neglect, radicalisation and grooming. She knows how to report any concerns. The childminder keeps her safeguarding knowledge up to date through attending regular safeguarding training. Her home is very well organised, and she has suitable space for children to move freely, both indoors and outside. She regularly monitors and minimises risks around her home to keep children safe.
