n The childminder is able to discuss some ways in which she would promote a love of books with her children, through story times and opportunities for role play. She speaks of how small-group story times prepare children to be able to join in with group work at the next stage of their education. n The childminder sees value in regular trips to the local park, where children can have opportunities to develop their physical skills and to learn about the seasons.

comfortable and secure before they fully commence their placement with her. n The childminder speaks confidently about how she would keep parents informed about key information as to their children's learning, development and welfare by sharing daily logs with them.

However, she does not then use this information to plan effective and challenging opportunities for learning. n While the childminder has ideas about how to plan provision and visits beyond the home, she is unable to demonstrate what she wants children to learn from trips. She has not kept up to date with her professional development to improve and develop her practice.

30 March 2023 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
