p.1

The provision is good

The childminder provides a stimulating and warm environment for children. She is understanding and caring, which helps children to develop strong and secure attachments with her. For example, children go to the childminder and enjoy a cuddle when they need comfort. The childminder places children at the heart of everything she does.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder has high expectations of children. Children behave well and they are considerate to each other. Positive behaviour is promoted by offering regular praise and encouragement, to ensure that children feel valued and respected. The childminder is quick to respond to behaviour that is not acceptable. She reminds children why it is not safe to throw things that might hurt their friends.

p.2

The provision is good

Children show high levels of engagement as they explore the activities readily available to them from the well-resourced environment. They select toys of interest to play with, both indoors and outdoors, alongside their friends. For example, children excitedly explore in a discovery tray, filled with fresh grass, farm animals and tractors. Children are exceptionally confident and make good progress in their learning and development. They are extremely eager to explore and are very curious about the world around them.

n Children show impressive levels of independence and resilience. They put on their own shoes and get their own drinks when they are thirsty. Older children enjoy the responsibility of undertaking tasks independently. For example, they bring their own chairs to the table at snack time and butter their own toast. Children wash their hands and help the childminder to prepare snacks. This prepares them effectively for future learning, and they become able and confident in their own ability. n The childminder reflects on her practice to make improvements. She aims to provide the best possible outcomes for children. The childminder completes training to maintain her skills and knowledge, to work effectively with children. For example, she completes yearly training in safeguarding and the 'Prevent' duty. However, no further training beyond the basic requirements is completed, to then strengthen the quality of teaching to the highest level.

n Children are imaginative and creative. They are positive about their learning and concentrate well when activities interest them. For example, children show imagination as they pretend to be builders. They dress up and use toy drills to fix tables and chairs together. The childminder is clear about what she wants children to learn, and joins in their play. n The childminder provides children with a language-rich environment. She models

21 September 2022 clear words consistently and sensitively corrects children if they mispronounce words. The childminder has high-quality interactions with the children and engages in back-and-forth conversations with them. She also ensures that she builds silence into her own communication, giving the children appropriate time to respond. This means that children's early communication skills are well supported. n The childminder offers children plenty of opportunities to learn about their local community and to develop their social skills. For example, they go to local toddler groups, where they interact with other children and take part in group activities. The childminder also works closely with other local childminders and their minded children. Children benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise. They enjoy outings to the pond to feed the ducks, going to parks and other local places, based on children's interests.

n Partnerships with parents are good, and parents make positive comments about the care their children receive. They say that that she provides a home-from- home environment. Many children and families have remained with the childminder for many years. The childminder shares information about their children's day. However, she does not maximise opportunities to help parents to build on their children's learning at home. n Children enjoy playing outdoors, where the childminder ensures that there is a range of resources to suit their development needs. Children access experiences with confidence, excitement and determination. For example, children show interest in collecting fallen apples from the ground. The childminder extends this and challenges them to throw the apples into a bowl, and then count how many they get in.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has good knowledge and understanding of how to safeguard children effectively in her care. She understands wider areas of safeguarding. This includes how to identify possible indicators that families are exposed to extreme views and behaviours. The childminder completes relevant training in safeguarding and is aware of her role and responsibilities. She can talk with confidence about what she would do in a range of scenarios. She is aware of the procedures to follow if an allegation is made against herself or a family member. Children are well supervised. The childminder develops children's awareness of staying safe. For example, she provides opportunities to practise road safety on outings.
