She updates her knowledge of safeguarding practice and knows who to contact in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder knows how to identify and minimise risks to children within her home and when they are out in the community. She keeps up to date with mandatory training, such as first aid, safeguarding and the wider remit regarding child protection. The childminder is experienced and uses her knowledge well, to provide good-quality experiences for children. She regularly takes children to local toddler groups so they develop good social skills and play alongside other children and adults. The childminder reflects on her provision and knows what she needs to improve. She verbally seeks the views of parents and children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with the necessary time that they need to explore and experiment in their play. For example, she knows children enjoy sticking and gluing activities. Children enjoy sticking bottle tops onto card to create a caterpillar from the popular story. The childminder supports children's language development very well. For example, she constantly talks to young children and interacts with them as they play. She knows when to step back and let the children instigate their own play and learning. Children press buttons on electronic toys, such as mobile phones and remote control trucks. Children enjoy drawing and colouring activities, for instance as they colour space pictures and talk about the rocket going into space. Children enjoy using their imagination as they pretend they are cooking meals in the role-play kitchen. The childminder observes children as they play and records details of their learning. Children

Children's behaviour is good. The childminder helps children to learn about the world around them and respect the needs of others. She plans activities to learn about festivals throughout the year and children taste different cultural food. Children receive lots of praise for their achievements to promote their confidence. They learn to share, take turns and develop positive relationships with their peers. While on outings, the childminder teaches children how to keep themselves safe and talks to them about road safety. Children regularly practise fire drills so that they know what to do in an emergency. Children develop healthy lifestyles. Parents provide children with a packed lunch, and the childminder provides them with a range of healthy and nutritious snacks and regular drinks.

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy learning and make good progress in readiness for school. They learn a good range of skills and are confident, independent and make choices about their play. Children demonstrate a good understanding of numbers as they count, learn about colour and shape. They are developing good social and physical skills.
