The provision is good

Children are extremely happy and settled in the childminder's welcoming home. They develop close and trusting relationships with the childminder and her assistant. This nurtures their confidence and helps them to feel safe and secure. Children demonstrate a strong sense of belonging. They put away their shoes and coats when they arrive and proudly place their photographs on the registration board. Older children confidently share their ideas and are excited when the childminder joins in with their games. Younger children seek out comfort and cuddles when they become tired.

The provision is good

Children respond positively to the childminder's high expectations and behave well overall. They try out new experiences and tackle challenges with enthusiasm. For instance, children display curiosity as they explore the texture of pretend snow. They describe how it differs from real snow and wonder if they can create a snowball or snowman. Children consistently build on what they know and can do. Their early literacy skills are supported well. Children acquire a love of books and confidently retell events from their favourite stories. They enjoy intricate activities, such as jigsaw puzzles, which help to strengthen the small muscle movements in their hands. Older children hold a pencil correctly and are keen to practise drawing and writing.
