p.1

The provision is good

Children enjoy playing with the childminder at her calm and welcoming setting. They take part in a wide range of activities in the large playroom. Activities appeal to children's interests and are suitable for a range of different ages and stages of development. For example, children enjoy learning about various occupations. The childminder teaches the children to bake cakes and make their own clothes to dress the dolls. They take part in imaginary play as hairdressers and doctors. Children learn a wide range of new skills and language as they explore the activities available.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder knows the children well and children show positive attitudes to learning. They show their excitement as they choose what they will play with. All children make good progress from their starting points.

p.2

The provision is good

Children behave well. They understand the rules and boundaries in place for their safety and enjoyment. Children are praised and valued for their efforts to take turns, share and use polite manners. For instance, when children offer a toy, the childminder thanks them for their kindness. This helps to increase their self-esteem and emotional well-being. The childminder is a good role model for children.

n Children love outings in the local area. For example, they visit the park and practise a range of physical development skills, such as balance and coordination. Children are encouraged to access a wealth of literacy activities. For instance, they visit the local library to enjoy organised events, such as crafting and singing together. Children learn to share stories and develop their love of books and early reading. n Children's early mathematical understanding is mostly supported effectively. For instance, the childminder encourages children to count the items in books and sings number songs during music sessions. However, at times, she does not fully extend children's skills and knowledge during more spontaneous activities and imaginative games, such as by encouraging counting or using mathematical language. n The childminder offers activities that explore early mark making and writing. Younger children have great fun painting pictures to take home and share with

their family. They name colours as they mix. They enjoy painting their hands and get excited when they notice the different patterns they make. n Children enjoy exploring music and sound. They use musical instruments in different ways, such as investigating the sounds the electric keyboard makes. Children happily dance and sing along to songs and rhymes as they strum their electric guitars.

28 July 2022 n The childminder supports children's speech and language development effectively. She engages children in regular conversations during activities to extend and build on their communication and language skills. The childminder speaks clearly and uses repetition of language to help children say words correctly. n The curriculum for indoors is well planned to provide activities that build on what the children know and enjoy. This enhances their learning and supports them to make good progress. However, the childminder does not always make the most of the outdoor space to fully enhance children's enjoyment and learning. n The childminder establishes positive relationships with parents. She asks parents about children's starting points and interests to shape her curriculum. When parents are new to the area, the childminder points them in the direction of local facilities. This is so she can support parents to prepare children for new

experiences. For instance, she provides information about how to gain a membership of the library or find out about events at the leisure centre. This helps to build partnerships with parents to ensure the best possible outcomes for children. n The childminder enjoys her role and reflects well on her practice. She completes many useful courses to develop her skills and enhance her understanding. She updates her knowledge through her membership of a childminding organisation. This helps her keep up to date with any changes to guidance and continue to look for ways to improve what she offers.

The childminder ensures that their knowledge remains up to date, for example through regularly refreshing their safeguarding training. She understands the risks posed by radicalisation and the dangers of exposure to extreme views. The childminder recognises the potential dangers associated with the use of the internet and takes effective ongoing action to ensure that children are protected. She shares this knowledge with parents to ensure they are also vigilant within the home.
