The provision is good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's homely and nurturing environment. They play cooperatively with their friends and show confidence in the setting. Children have strong bonds with the childminder and her assistants, and younger children seek cuddles and comfort from them as needed. The childminder knows the children well and plans activities based on their interests. For instance, children enjoy building models with colourful bricks. They use their imagination to pretend that the green bricks represent trees and the blue bricks represent sharks. Children thrive and enjoy making up a story. The childminder and her assistants extend children's learning further as they introduce new words and ask children to count and identify colours during their play. Children are focused and motivated to learn. They make good progress in their learning from when they first start.

The provision is good

Children behave well. The childminder and her assistants are positive role models. They have high expectations of children and support them to develop good manners. Children respond well to simple instructions, such as to tidy up the toys and books. They learn to show respect for one another. Children are independent and gain confidence in their self-care skills. For example, they follow good hygiene practices as they learn to wash their hands independently, and younger children confidently use a spoon to feed themselves. Children develop a good awareness of oral hygiene and they know to brush their teeth after meals.

However, the childminder does not consistently consider opportunities for children to develop their gross motor skills and be physically active while inside. n The childminder and her assistants teach children important social skills. Children learn to be kind and considerate of others. For example, they share their containers and take turns to fill their baskets with rice.

However, the childminder has not explored options for professional development for her assistants to enhance their teaching skills further.
