The provision is good

Children are happy in this caring childminder's home. They safely move around the room, choosing what they want to play with. The childminder builds positive relationships with the children. Younger children beam with joy as the childminder plays peekaboo with them. Older children delight in her company and chat with her as they play. Children develop their physical skills well. They enjoy moving and dancing around the room. The childminder extends this play and encourages the children to stretch up high and down low and to jump. The children scream with pleasure as they take part in the activity.

The provision is good

Children show high levels of engagement and positive attitudes toward their learning. They follow their own ideas. For example, children use their imagination as they pretend to go on a picnic and celebrate their teddies' birthdays. They decide on the food to take to the picnic. They count the candles and blow them out with great excitement. The childminder extends their enthusiasm for counting and plays a game of skittles with them. The children use small-muscle skills as they roll the ball at the skittles. They shout, 'Yes!' as they knock the skittles down. Older children accurately count how many skittles have fallen down.

n The childminder implements a curriculum that considers children's interests. She builds on what the children know and can do to enhance their learning. For example, children love looking at books. The childminder uses this and incorporates storytelling into her daily routine to help develop children's early literacy skills. The children snuggle on beanbags and listen to the stories about a spider and a panda. They repeat the phrases in the book and talk about the characters. n Overall, the childminder promotes children's language skills well. She gets down to younger children's level and talks about what they are doing. The childminder introduces new words as children play. For example, as older children play doctors, she introduces the words 'temperature' and 'thermometer'. This helps to extend children's vocabulary. However, the childminder does not use questions effectively. She asks questions that require one-word answers. This means the

The childminder sends parents photos of what the children are doing while in her care. She writes summaries of the children's learning and shares these with parents. In addition, the childminder suggests activities parents can do at home to help, such as finding colours in the environment. n The childminder broadens children's experiences from home and extends their learning. For example, she takes the children to the supermarket and lets them buy items so they can extend their knowledge of using money. The childminder takes children to soft-play centres, so the children can use larger equipment and
