The provision is good

Children are happy and secure in the care of the nurturing childminder. She is attentive and sensitive to children's individual needs. Children show a real sense of belonging in her home. On arrival, they are excited to see the childminder and her family. They settle quickly and become engrossed in play. They are eager to learn and try new experiences from an early age. For example, children concentrate as they build towers with bricks and show delight as their tower gets higher. The childminder supports children's learning well. They count the bricks together and talk about size and shape. This helps support their mathematical development.

The provision is good

Children behave well for their age and stage of development. They understand what is expected of them and learn to take turns and to be kind. The childminder continually praises and encourages children during activities. As a result, children are confident and develop high levels of self-esteem.

The provision is good

Children participate in a wide range of activities in the childminder's home and through outings. They visit parks, the library and the local children's centre. This provides opportunities for children to socialise with others and learn about the local community.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder has high expectations for all children. She helps children develop skills in preparation for their next stage of learning, including nursery and school. For example, children develop their independence as they learn to manage their care needs from an early age. They put on their shoes and coats and wash their hands. All children are making progress in relation to their starting points.

Children excitedly talk about how tall their sunflowers will grow. They thoroughly enjoy water play and persevere as they learn to operate the water pump. Children enjoy a healthy diet. They stay hydrated, as the childminder regularly encourages them to drink water, and enjoy a variety of fruit at snack time. The childminder helps children learn how to take care of their teeth. For example, she reads children books about dental care. n The childminder provides a broad and interesting curriculum, which, overall, meets children's individual interests and needs well.

out about any additional languages children speak at home, including familiar words they use. Children have frequent exposure to books. They enjoy snuggling up with the childminder to listen to stories and hear and use familiar words. The childminder extends children's vocabulary by talking to them and asking questions. n Overall, children spend their time happily engaging in meaningful play. However, at times, such as during routine activities, the childminder interrupts the flow of play. For example, she announces it is snack time and quickly moves children on while they are still fully engaged in an activity. n The childminder regularly reflects on her practice and demonstrates a strong commitment to making ongoing improvements. Since the last inspection she has made use of research and support from early years advisers to enhance her understanding of the curriculum, teaching and how to support children's learning
