p.1

The provision is good

Children clearly enjoy their time at the childminder's home. They take part in a range of play experiences that support their learning and development. The childminder has a clear understanding of the children's abilities and of where they are in their learning journey.

p.2

The provision is good

Good relationships with the childminder ensure children feel confident and secure in her care. From an early age, children are encouraged to become increasingly independent. Young children who are newly toilet trained learn in what order they need to do things. They follow each step on a poster displayed in the bathroom, which acts as a visual reminder for them. The childminder talks them through the process and asks, 'What do you think you need to do next?' This helps them to develop their healthy independence and acquire key skills that help prepare them for their transitions to school.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder supports children to develop an understanding of their different emotions and how their behaviour can impact on others. Since the last inspection, the childminder has attended specific training on behaviour management. This has helped to improve her knowledge and she is making good use of positive strategies to manage children's behaviour.

n The childminder plans a range of challenging experiences that build on children's existing skills and deepen their knowledge. Children follow their interests, and the childminder is skilled at bringing in the different areas of learning to broaden their experiences. n The childminder's interactions with children effectively support their communication and language. Children enjoy and listen attentively to stories. They recall what happens next in familiar stories and share their own experiences. Regular singing activities help children to build up a bank of songs and extend their vocabulary. Children enjoy talking through what they are doing and what they plan to do next. The childminder pays close attention to what children are saying and she allows children time to speak without interruption. n Children learn about number as they count the legs of the spider in a book and then on a toy. They identify that both spiders have the same number of legs,

'Eight!' The childminder supports them to touch each leg as they count and to take their time. The childminder keeps numbers small for the children so they gain a secure understanding of numbers and their value before moving on to bigger numbers. When singing number rhymes, children learn what happens to a number when they add one or take one away. n Children's physical skills are developing well. They show good strength and

They set themselves challenges as they line up the penguins in order of height from tallest to smallest. Daily walks help to develop their stamina and they learn to balance and climb on play equipment in the garden. n The childminder encourages children to express themselves creatively using a range of resources. Children talk through what they are doing as they build their different creations from magnetic shapes. They problem-solve as they widen doors and windows on their structures to fit cars through. They learn about shape, space and measure and identify the different colours and how many more triangles they need to make the roof. n Children develop a love of books and enjoy learning about the different roles of people who help us. The childminder talks to them about fire officers and the

different equipment they use. Children dress up as fire officers and pretend to put out fires. The childminder asks the children why they think fire officers wear helmets and explains that the masks protect them from the smoke from the fires. However, opportunities to increase children's knowledge and sense of the world around them, through outings and visits to places of interest, are not as well planned for. n The childminder has addressed all actions from the last inspection and has undertaken training to improve her knowledge. She works well with parents and other settings children attend to get feedback about children's development and to agree key skills of focus. However, communication with other professionals working with children, particularly those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is less frequent and not as well developed.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has attended recent safeguarding training to ensure she has an up-to-date knowledge of local safeguarding reporting procedures. She understands how to recognise the possible indicators of abuse and what steps to take to ensure children are safeguarded. Risk assessments are effective, and the childminder ensures any hazards to children are minimised. The childminder takes account of children's ages and stages of development when risk assessing the environment. Children learn from an early age about safe behaviours and the childminder offers gentle reminders, for example how to sit safely on their chairs at mealtimes.
