well aware of the positive strategies to use to support children, so that they learn right from wrong. She is clear about the need to support children's physical health, such as with the provision of a healthy and balanced menu, and the provision of daily opportunities for children to play outdoors. n The childminder recognises the importance of working in partnership with parents. She shares information about their children's progress daily and offers gradual settling-in for new children. This allows for both parents and their children to settle at their own pace, and enables them to form positive relationships with the childminder and her co-childminder. n The childminder and her co-childminder work well together as a strong team. They regularly review their training needs and the provision they offer for individual children. This helps them to identify the strengths in the service they offer and to build on areas identified for improvement.

The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation.

The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
