p.1

The provision is good

The childminder provides a welcoming and homely atmosphere. On arrival, young children greet each other warmly and settle quickly, showing that they feel safe and secure. Parents are confident to leave their children here. Children are familiar with the lay out of the main play area and independently choose their own toys and activities. The childminder promotes good behaviour. Children behave well and show respect for one another and the childminder. They say please and thank you and help each other. For instance, one child eagerly says to another, 'I'll help you find Thomas the tank'.

p.2

The provision is good

n The childminder gets to know the children well from the beginning of the childcare arrangement. She obtains children's starting points in their learning through observation and from discussion with parents. She uses relevant guidance to support her in being able to assess the children's development and build on their next steps in learning. n Children are positive about their learning and concentrate well because activities are interesting and well prepared. During 'hospital' role play, they use a wide vocabulary of new and challenging words, such as 'stethoscope'. Children know what the stethoscope is for, as they pretend to listen to one another's heart. Children are focused and enthusiastic as they play. The childminder thoroughly plans and considers what she must provide to enable children to extend their learning. n Children develop good speech and language skills with the childminder.

For example, young children learn to safely walk down a few steps without holding the childminder's hand. n The childminder supports children to follow suitable hygiene routines. She ensures that children wash their hands throughout the day. Children independently access water from their own beakers. However, during imaginative play, very young children share spoons and place them in their mouths. This does not promote children's health or reduce the spread of germs. n The childminder works well with her assistants, who are attentive to the children. Children affectionately talk to and include the assistants in their activities. While the childminder is aware of the few weaknesses in her assistants' practice, she has not addressed them in the interim before the assistants complete training. n Children enjoy opportunities to learn about the wider world and the similarities

and differences between themselves and others. Play equipment and books provide plenty of representation of other cultures and lifestyles. n The childminder carries out the statutory progress check for two-year-old children who attend regularly.
