Children benefit from a wide variety of activities that are enjoyable and exciting. The childminder considers children's interests and abilities to provide a challenging and stimulating environment. Children have good opportunities to build on what they already know. They are eager to participate in the experiences on offer and make good progress from their starting points. The childminder seeks guidance from other early years professionals when areas for further development are identified in children. Along with her assistant, the childminder has high expectations of children. They support children in developing social skills and encourage them to challenge themselves.

The provision is good

Children develop a strong sense of belonging while in the care of the childminder. She teaches them how important they are and how they fit into their community. Through books and resources, the childminder helps children to understand family life, important festivals and to develop a good understanding of their world. For example, they begin their learning by developing an understanding of themselves and their families, before moving on to looking at their wider community and the diverse world they live in. The childminder extends children's understanding of equality by helping them to appreciate that everyone is unique and has differences to be celebrated.

n The childminder has clear aims for her curriculum. She regularly makes assessments of children's progress and identifies areas for further development. For example, children's language and communication skills are supported and developed through the effective use of a daily storyboard that outlines activities and routines. This helps children to develop new words, such as 'later', 'after' and 'before'. Supported by the skilful childminder, children are gaining confidence in sharing their wishes about what they want to do. n The childminder shares information with parents and carers about what their children have learned and what they can do. She provides information about what they will be working on next. Positive partnerships are in place with parents. The childminder has offered valuable support to parents throughout the pandemic. For example, the delivery of doorstep activities helped children to

They are beginning to understand the importance of showing each other respect and tolerance. The childminder helps children to talk about their emotions and how their friends may be feeling. Children understand their daily routine and confidently follow the tasks given for the day.

They have opportunities to develop their physical skills through climbing, riding bikes and playing chase. Children learn about caring for their gardens through carefully planned resources that allow them to water and tend to plants independently.

each other. n The childminder regularly reflects on her provision and practice. She has clear ideas on how to enhance the provision to allow children to explore and experiment more often. Children's views are taken into account. n The childminder encourages children to express themselves through arts, crafts and their imagination. A wealth of creative resources give children ample opportunity to create and explore different textures and materials. For instance, children lose themselves in books and immerse themselves in painting. They recall previous learning by developing scenarios within their small-world play and bringing figures of people that help them to life. n Children's personal development is outstanding. Children delight in listening to the noises and rhythm the rain makes on the roof, talking about volume and impact as the noise changes. The childminder is astutely aware of each child's needs and purposely identifies opportunities to develop their skills and talents.

This shows that they are beginning to understanding the importance of keeping themselves safe and managing risks. The childminder ensures she follows a rigid safer recruitment process.
