p.1

The provision is good

The childminder offers a welcoming and homely environment where children feel happy, safe and secure. Effective settling-in procedures are in place and children quickly form strong attachments with the childminder. Children happily include the childminder in their play. They respond well to her supportive attention. For example, they laugh with excitement as they sing and dance to their favourite songs and action rhymes. Children are confident to lead their own learning and make choices about what they want to play with or do. They use their imaginations as they play with dinosaur figures and confidently tell the childminder the names of the dinosaurs.

p.2

The provision is good

Children develop good concentration skills. For instance, they spend time completing quite complex floor puzzles. They persevere and enjoy a sense of pride when they succeed. The childminder encourages children to choose what they want to do and promotes their individual learning in the moment. For example, she talks to children and asks appropriate questions as they complete the farmyard puzzle. She extends the resources, such as adding tractors and animals that relate to the farm. This helps children to create and be imaginative and learn about the world around them.

n The childminder knows the children well. She gathers information when they first start and builds on what they know and can do. The childminder plans a broad curriculum which extends children's interests and provides challenge. She observes their progress and identifies any possible gaps in their learning, which are addressed quickly. Parents share what their children have been learning and enjoy doing at home. However, the childminder has not considered how to share precise information with parents about what she intends to children to learn next, and how parents can support this at home. n The childminder provides numerous opportunities for children to develop good speech and language skills. Children are keen to share books and listen to stories. The childminder narrates their play and reinforces speech sounds with clear and correct repetition. She encourages children to express their choices and join in conversation as they play. Children learn to listen and quickly become

confident communicators. n Children make good progress with their mathematical development. They are beginning to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts and use appropriate language such as 'fast' and 'slow'. The childminder makes effective use of spontaneous learning opportunities to promote children's learning. For example, as they climb the stairs to the bathroom, she encourages children to count in sequence from one to 10.

13 March 2023 n Children behave very well. The childminder supports children to understand how to treat each other with respect and kindness. Children respond very positively to the childminder, who uses praise and encouragement to acknowledge their achievements. For example, she praises them when they help to tidy away the toys after they had finished playing. n The childminder supports children to develop good hygiene practices. For example, they learn the importance of washing their hands before eating and after playing outside. The childminder helps children to understand why making healthy food choices is important to their well-being. Children enjoy a variety of outings to the local library, and parks where they feed the ducks. This helps them to build their small and large muscles, provides plenty of physical exercise and promotes well-being. n Children are confident to play and explore. The childminder prioritises teaching

them to manage their self-care when they are ready, including using the toilet, washing their hands, and putting on their own coats. This helps them learn to be independent in preparation for the transition to pre-school or school. n Parents share their appreciation for the childminder and the good service she provides. They comment on the strong attachments their children have made with her and how happy and settled they are. Parents state that their children are making good progress. They highlight positive changes with their children's communication and language, social interactions and independence. n The childminder listens to parent's feedback and knows her strengths and is keen to continuously improve her practice. She accesses training courses and other useful information online to consistently update her skills and knowledge.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has a secure safeguarding and child protection knowledge. She confidently understands her responsibilities to help keep children safe. The childminder undertakes regular training to help keep her safeguarding knowledge up to date. Her understanding of signs and symptoms of abuse, including radical and extreme views or behaviours, is strong. The childminder carries out robust risk assessments for all walks and outings. She talks to children about how to stay safe around water and why they must not walk on frozen water. This contributes to children understanding how to keep themselves safe.
