p.1

The provision is good

Children are confident and happy in the childminder's home. The childminder establishes friendly and nurturing bonds with children, and they have a good relationship with her. This fosters a sense of belonging and helps children to feel safe, which has a positive impact on their personal development.

p.2

The provision is good

Overall, children behave well. When children need support with their behaviour, the childminder quickly and gently takes the time to explain why some behaviours are not acceptable. For example, on occasions, children take toys such as bikes from other children. The childminder helps children to think about how their behaviour can affect their friends. This has a positive impact on their behaviour.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder has an ambitious curriculum. She skilfully uses children's interests to organise activities and experiences. For example, children show an interest in the natural world and minibeasts. The childminder develops children's interests and takes them on regular woodland outings. When children return to the childminder's home, she continues to extend their learning with hands-on experiences. For example, the childminder provides children with opportunities to observe and learn about life cycles.

n Occasionally, the childminder does not give children enough support to be able to make choices about what activity to do when they are free to choose what they want to play with. Therefore, at times, children wander around the environment without fully engaging in play. n The childminder focuses on helping children to make secure transitions. For example, children who are leaving the setting to go to school have lunchtimes at the same time each day. The childminder describes how she intends to support their continuity of care by taking them to school in the mornings and collecting them when they finish. This has an impact on their personal development. n The childminder supports children's personal care requirements. Children develop a good awareness of taking care of their own personal needs, such as using the potty, dressing and undressing. They confidently use the toilet and wash their hands after messy play, before eating and after toileting. Young

children and babies sleep in an area that has good ventilation. This supports their health and well-being. n The childminder makes good use of the indoor and outdoor environments to offer a wide range of appealing and interesting learning opportunities for children. For example, she has set up a construction area with storybooks. Children pick up these books and retell stories. Furthermore, in the creative area, they use art and craft materials to create their own caterpillars. Children

30 June 2022 talk about caterpillar habitats and use words such as 'grass', 'mud', 'snails' and 'ants'. This has a positive impact on children's communication and language development and early comprehension skills. n The childminder helps children to develop the skills and knowledge to steadily increase their independence and manage reasonable tasks and risks. For example, children enjoy preparing fruit for snack time. They select their own chopping boards and knives and, with supervision, follow instructions for safely using knives to cut hard fruits, such as apples. This helps to develop and strengthen the muscles in children's hands and arms, to support their physical development. Children display independence and positive attitudes to their learning. n The childminder supports children's understanding of mathematical concepts. She interacts skilfully with children to help them to develop their counting skills.

Children learn about numbers through a range of playful activities and experiences. n childminder has a strong partnership with parents. Parents speak very positively about her. The childminder shares information with parents about their children's individual progress, in line with the early years foundation stage. This has a positive impact on children's next steps in education.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder implements an effective safeguarding policy and procedures and completes regular safeguarding training. She demonstrates a good awareness of safeguarding practice. The childminder understands the importance of recognising any cause for concern about a child's welfare. She knows how to report any concerns, including allegations against adults working with children.
