The provision is good

The experienced childminder provides a warm, welcoming and homely environment where children feel safe and secure. Children have formed strong relationships with the childminder and demonstrate that they are emotionally secure. Children quickly settled back after their absence during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. They feel comfortable playing alongside adults and enjoy sitting nearby when listening to stories. Effective settling-in processes are in place, and the childminder knows children very well. She can confidently discuss their abilities, likes and dislikes, and family backgrounds. The childminder recognises what children can already do, and identifies their next steps in learning carefully. Children behave well, they are polite, respectful, and courteous. The childminder provides children with clear and consistent behavioural boundaries. They understand the difference between right and wrong and respond positively when asked to tidy up. Children enjoy listening

n The childminder has a strong focus on supporting children's communication, language and literacy development. Children are making very good progress in this area of learning and are confident when communicating with adults or their peers. Children express views and opinions with clarity, and have a wide range of vocabulary. For example, when talking about their visit to the local farm, they can describe different types of animals. Children enjoy looking at books and ask questions about the stories, such as 'Why was the pancake running away?' n The childminder builds good relationships with parents. She kept in contact during the pandemic period and was able to support a key-worker parent. They met daily outside and shared photographs and observations of their children's learning. Parents describe the environment as 'warm and inviting, where children are nurtured and supported to develop'. They make positive comments

and say that she treats their children as one of her own. n Teaching is effective. The childminder creates an appropriate and diverse curriculum across all areas of learning so children make good progress, overall. She works with the children in her garden to grow a wide range of vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices, which are used to cook delicious and healthy meals. Children are adept at keeping themselves safe by independently washing their hands, using the sanitiser and understanding the need for masks and social distancing, where necessary. n The childminder has begun to build effective partnerships with the school that the children attend. She has made contact with their class teachers so that she will be informed of their learning and progress. This will help to create a consistent approach to children's learning and will support their transition for the next stage in their development.

26 May 2021 n Despite the restrictions of the pandemic, children have had opportunities to explore the outdoors and learn from nature. Usually, the childminder organises regular trips to the local library, parks, farm and playgroups. Although she has not been able to organise these trips, children have a safe and secure outdoor garden area, and enjoy nature walks in a large forest area. Children make good progress with their physical development and exceptional progress with their speech, language and social skills. n The childminder plans to seek opportunities to attend training courses, now the pandemic is settling down. She recently undertook an online safeguarding course to keep her knowledge up to date, particularly with regard to refreshing her knowledge of online safety, to protect children when they are using the internet. n The childminder has a positive attitude to making improvements to her practice.

However, she does not use self-evaluation as well as she could to identify ways to improve the quality of her provision to an even higher level.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder is aware of her responsibility to keep children safe, particularly during COVID-19 times. She has a good understanding of signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm, and knows what to do if she has any concerns. She has made herself aware of the indicators that a child might be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder uses her risk assessments effectively to help her keep children safe and well. For example, she practises the emergency fire procedures with children and uses stair gates in her home to minimise risks.
