This provision meets requirements

Children have a good understanding of how to keep safe. They hold hands with the childminder and co-childminder as they eagerly walk from the pre-school playgroup to the childminder's home. Children feel safe and secure. They thoroughly enjoy themselves in the engaging and relaxed environment. Children readily make choices about what they would like to do from the moment they arrive. They are happy and engaged in their play. Children have positive relationships with their friends and adults. They delight in sharing their ideas and what they have made. For example, children are eager to have their name written on their art work. They confidently identify the colour of their drawings as 'purple'. Children receive lots of positive praise for their efforts. This helps build on their confidence and social skills.

Children's behaviour is good. The childminder knows children well. She plans activities following children's interests. For instance, children are fascinated by 'people who help us'. The childminder supports children to develop their imaginative skills as they play with the fire engine and people. She works in partnership with parents to extend children's learning at home. For example, parents take children to visit the fire station. This builds on children's understanding of the wider world.

n The childminder and co-childminder are good role models. The childminder reminds children how to keep safe. For instance, asking for adults to reach toys on higher shelves. However, she does not always encourage children to follow her behaviour expectations, such as packing toys away to make more space. Children are independent, polite and treat each other with kindness. n Children have a strong sense of belonging. They know the routines well. For example, they remove their shoes and coats and know where to hang them up. Children develop good independence skills. n Parents are complimentary about the care and opportunities their children receive in the childminder's care. They receive daily information about the children's day and how they can support their learning at home. Parents have positive relationships with staff and with other children who attend. They feel it provides a good home-from-home experience.

considers how to apply this to the setting. This helps raise the quality of the provision even further. n Children benefit from a range of resources to develop their understanding of technology. For example, they read talking books and play with toys which respond when you use the controls. Children develop their small motor skills. In addition, they are developing their understanding of cause and effect. This prepares them for later life. n The childminder's curriculum follows children's interests and complements their ongoing learning. For example, children concentrate well as they count and stack wooden blocks. Pre-school children confidently count from 20 to 30. This supports children's problem-solving and mathematical development.

Safeguarding

The childminder and co-childminder understand their responsibilities to safeguard children. They can confidently identify the signs and symptoms that may indicate that a child is at risk of harm. They complete mandatory training and safeguarding refresher courses to ensure they are updating their knowledge, including on risks such as female genital mutilation and exposure to extreme views. The childminder is aware of procedures to follow if she needs to report a concern about a child or an allegation against a colleague. She checks the premises and surrounding environment to ensure that it is safe and secure for the children.
