The provision is good

Children are greeted warmly by the childminder. They participate in a welcome song at story time to greet their friends. Children are consistently provided with high-quality learning experiences. They are eager and active learners. Children are praised for their achievements, which helps to develop their self-esteem. The childminder ensures that there are plenty of opportunities in her home and outdoors for children to build on their physical skills and learn about the environment. She gives clear explanations and timely support to help children to understand and manage their emotions. Children learn to share, take turns and appreciate the different needs of others.

The provision is good

The childminder consistently interacts affectionately with children. Children have developed strong attachments with her and she fosters their personal development superbly. The childminder makes excellent use of all areas of her home and maximises opportunities for children to make independent choices. For example, she makes good use of her wide hallway to create an additional activity space which provides a quieter area for children to play if required. She carefully considers each child's individual requirements and patiently involves them in the daily routine. She talks to children about what they are doing and gives them the vocabulary they need for tasks such as dressing and tending to their personal hygiene. This supports children's growing independence and confidence. Children are happy, content and ready to learn.
