The childminder creates a safe and nurturing environment for young children. Effective settling-in procedures are in place and the childminder knows the children very well. She understands that children learn in different ways and at different rates and values their unique personalities. The childminder recognises what children can already do and identifies next steps in their learning accurately. Children choose from a range of toys and resources that the childminder has purposefully selected to promote their learning.

The experienced and qualified childminder is a good role model and has high expectations for all children. She gives children plenty of praise and encouragement, which helps to boost their self-esteem and confidence. Children behave well and have a good understanding of sharing and taking turns. The childminder encourages the use of good manners. Children engage in discussions about healthy food choices as they play, and this helps to enhance their understanding and awareness of healthy eating.

The provision is good

The childminder supports parents to continue their children's learning at home and to regularly share new information and achievements. Partnerships with other professionals are highly effective and a strength of the setting. Where children attend two settings, the childminder ensures she shares valuable information about children's development. This helps support children's strong sense of belonging. All children progress well and gain the skills they need for moving on to pre-school or school.

These activities promote children's small-muscle skills and help them to prepare for early writing. n The childminder enhances children's physical skills effectively through their daily experiences. For example, during a creative activity, children are encouraged and shown how to hold and use scissors in the correct grip. The childminder models this and gives clear explanations as to how to safely manoeuvre the scissors to cut the paper. n Children have access to a large range of toys and resources that support their mathematical learning and development. However, on occasion, the childminder does not make the most of these learning opportunities to fully support children's counting skills during everyday experiences. n The childminder reflects well on her practice and adopts a positive attitude towards making improvements. She provides parents with opportunities to share
