p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's warm and nurturing care. They enjoy choosing from a wide variety of interesting activities indoors and outside. Children are keen to learn, and they thrive on praise as the childminder shows her delight at their achievements. Children are thoroughly engaged as they select musical instruments to play along to their favourite songs. They listen attentively as the childminder reads stories and skilfully asks questions about the pictures. Children concentrate as they develop their physical skills on the climbing frame. This supports them to make progress in all areas of learning.

p.2

The provision is good

Children's behaviour is of a high standard. They are encouraged to treat each other with kindness and respect. They are learning to play cooperatively and to share with their friends. For example, when in the play shop, children take turns to use the till. Children are polite and helpful. They remember to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Older children enjoy being given responsibility for setting the table at lunchtime.

p.2

The provision is good

Parents are grateful for the support and care their children receive from the childminder and her co-childminder. They welcome the regular updates they receive about their children's progress. Children enjoy continuing their learning at home with their families. They proudly share pictures they have made at home.

n The childminder has secure knowledge and understanding of how young children learn. She carefully considers how to ensure that all areas of the curriculum are incorporated into the children's daily experiences. This means that children are provided with opportunities to develop new knowledge and skills as they play. For example, the childminder helps older children to identify different shapes, such as ovals and semicircles, as they decorate a rainbow fish. Younger children are supported to recognise different colours. n Children are developing a love of books and reading. The childminder prepares baskets of books and resources which are linked to the story they are reading together. Children can use puppets and natural resources, such as shells, in their play. Children visit the local library regularly and enjoy choosing their own books. n The childminder encourages the children to practise making marks with a variety

of different pencils, paintbrushes and chalks. Children enjoy creating shopping lists with the childminder. As children start to write the initial letter of their name, she talks about how she will then move them on. This includes how to help them to identify their name in print. This will help children to prepare for their next stage of education.

6 June 2022 n Children's speech and language development is supported effectively by the childminder. She helps younger children to join words together to make simple sentences. She makes sure that all children are given the opportunity to answer questions. At lunchtime, she sits with the children as they take turns to talk about how they have spent the weekend. This helps children to become confident communicators. n The childminder encourages children to play together. When a child shows an interest in playing 'catch', she makes sure that other children are invited to join in. She shows the younger children how to throw the ball and helps older children to be more accurate with their aim. n Children benefit from healthy snacks and meals. They talk about the fruit salad they made after visiting the local shop. They have created their own greengrocers in the role-play area and can identify a range of different fruits.

There is a growing area outdoors, where children grow their own vegetables. After eating, they clean their teeth. They watch a video so that they can see how to do it correctly. This promotes children's health and well-being. n There are plenty of opportunities for children to develop their independence. The childminder shows them how to use a knife safely to cut their fruit. They know they must wash their hands before eating, and they line up to do this before lunchtime. However, this takes a long time, which means that some children wait for too long. Others sit at the table patiently before they can eat. n The childminder and her co-childminder work together extremely effectively. They seek feedback from parents and get advice from their local authority development worker. This allows them to make changes to their practice to help children benefit even more.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder attends regular safeguarding training to ensure that she keeps her knowledge up to date. She has a good understanding of the signs that might indicate a concern about a child's welfare, including neglect, abuse and extremism. The childminder knows the procedures to follow should she need to report a concern. This includes an allegation made against an adult who works with children. The childminder carries out regular risk assessments to help keep children safe. She appropriately supervises children indoors and outside.
