p.1

The provision is good

Children are happy and have formed strong attachments with this kind and caring childminder. Children benefit from a wide range of experiences with the childminder, such as visiting garden centres, the library and a variety of parks. Children receive good opportunities to learn about festivals and celebrations. For example, the childminder prepares an activity based on matching the colours of the Union Jack as she talks about the upcoming Coronation. This helps children to learn and develop an understanding about the wider world around them.

The provision is good

Children benefit from a range of activities to choose from. In the main room, children read books and play with shape sorters and scarves. In the conservatory, children engage in the good range of role-play opportunities, making tea and baking cakes. Children happily play alongside each other, sharing resources and passing pretend food to each other to eat. They enjoy the outdoor space, running around the garden and making up matching games with balls and cones. The childminder supports this, following the children's lead by enhancing play to keep them motivated and engaged. Children benefit from the childminder narrating what she is doing as she does it. This helps to build vocabulary and understanding.

n The childminder takes the time to get to know children before they start. Parents complete 'All about me' forms, which help the childminder to provide the best care for children. She tailors experiences and routines to suit them and their needs. This means that children become emotionally secure and develop their confidence quickly when settling with the childminder. n The childminder places great emphasis on providing a language-rich environment. She uses simple language, songs and books to develop children's speech. For children who speak English as an additional language, she uses common keywords and flashcards to convey meaning in the languages they speak at home. For example, when offering a drink, she holds up the flashcard and says the word in both English and in their home language. This means that children's communication and language development is supported effectively. n The childminder offers opportunities for children to learn independence. They

are encouraged to make choices about where they play. For example, one child indicates that they want to play in the garden. The childminder recognises this and offers all children the opportunity to play outdoors. n The childminder provides a good range of learning experiences, and children enjoy taking part in activities led by adults, such as colour sorting and counting activities. However, the childminder does not fully consider ways for younger children to engage in the activities that she has planned. Nonetheless, children make good progress and are well prepared for their next steps in learning.

27 April 2023 n Children are learning to lead healthy lifestyles. The childminder promotes opportunities for them to follow good hygiene routines, washing their hands regularly and raising the importance of handwashing. She encourages healthy eating, providing children with healthy food during meal and snack times. The childminder offers plenty of opportunities for children to run and move about outdoors for fresh air and exercise. n The childminder develops strong relationships with parents. She shares information and photos about what the children are doing each day. Parents report that their children enjoy coming to the childminder, and they are making good progress in her care. n The childminder reflects on her own practice. She makes good use of online training, other childminders and local forums to inform her knowledge and ensure her practice is up to date. She reflects on the provision she offers and

The childminder has a good understanding of how to keep children safe. The childminder recognises that by involving children in the road crossing process, they learn about how to keep themselves safe. The childminder has good knowledge about signs and indicators that a child might be at risk of abuse. She has a good understanding of referral procedures should she have concerns about a child in her care or should an allegation ever be made against her or a person in her household.
