p.1

The provision is good

The childminder provides a warm, welcoming and homely environment, where children feel safe and secure. Children form strong relationships with the childminder and demonstrate that they are emotionally secure. The childminder values each child highly and has high expectations of children. Children learn to talk confidently and can express their wants and needs. For example, children confidently indicate the colour of play dough and the cutter they would like to use during an activity. Children have a close and warm relationship with the childminder.

p.2

The provision is good

Children are highly motivated by the range of activities on offer and build good relationships with their peers. For example, children are keen to share books together, pointing and repeating animal names to each other. This learning opportunity helps children to interact positively.

p.2

The provision is good

Children develop their growing independence skills. For example, they select toys of their choice and help to tidy them away or clear up after snack time. The childminder works hard to support younger children to develop their self-care skills. Children behave well and are polite, respectful and courteous. The childminder provides children with clear and consistent behavioural boundaries. Children understand the difference between right and wrong and respond positively when asked to tidy up.

n The childminder supports children to develop their communication and language skills. She talks to children about what they are doing and encourages them to use words to express themselves. For example, while making gingerbread men with play dough, children comment, 'I roll it'. The childminder supports children to build continuously on their vocabulary and understanding. n The childminder supports children to develop their social skills. Children share and play well together. For example, they work together to pretend to make tea and pour it into each other's cups. Children form good working relationships with each other. n The childminder supports children's mathematical development well. For example, she encourages children to count how many cookies they have made with the play dough. She supports children to point to each object and count out loud. This helps children to relate their mathematical learning to real life and

20 March 2023 develop their knowledge about the local world around them. n The childminder takes part in regular professional development opportunities to improve her practice. For example, she participates in online courses provided by the local authority or reads supportive literature to further her knowledge of child development. This helps the childminder to keep her knowledge up to date. n The childminder provides a good range of activities. However, she does not consistently plan and sequence activities to build on children's knowledge and skills further. During some activities, the childminder is not consistently clear about the areas of learning she is supporting children in and what their next steps in learning are. For example, when children use play dough, the childminder is unable to identify the learning and skills which she plans to develop.

The childminder understands what to do if an allegation is made against her. She ensures that her safeguarding knowledge stays up to date by participating in courses organised by the local authority. The childminder identifies risks accurately and takes steps to ensure that her home is safe for children.
