p.1

The provision is good

Children form strong emotional attachments with the childminder, who is kind and friendly. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children play happily and engage in a wide variety of learning experiences that keep them motivated to learn. For example, children enjoy taking part in a sticking activity using art and craft materials, which encourages their creativity. Outdoors, children explore natural materials and show good levels of curiosity as they look for the hidden toy animals. They count from one to 10 and beyond, demonstrating their good counting skills. Children have positive attitudes to learning. They listen and follow instructions well.

The provision is good

Children thrive in this setting because of the high expectations for their learning. They continually develop their self-help skills and independence, which prepares them well for school. For example, children volunteer to do as many age- appropriate and manageable tasks as possible, such as wiping down the art table after an activity. They do this enthusiastically and exclaim, 'all clean!' to show their pride in their achievements. Children enjoy looking at books with the childminder. They point to pictures and talk about what they see, which fosters their love of books.

n The childminder evaluates her practice effectively to bring about positive improvements for the benefit of children and their families. For example, since the last inspection, when children paint, she encourages them more actively to describe how colours change when they are mixed together. This practice teaches children to predict and experiment with cause and effect. n The childminder is proactive in forming relationships with parents and teachers at the other childcare providers that children attend. She communicates with parents and teachers regularly to ensure that children have a continuity of care and learning. Parents find that the childminder has a 'lovely manner' with all the children in her care. They are more than satisfied with the way the childminder keeps them up to date with their children's progress. n The childminder observes and tracks children's learning accurately. She is very

good at using the information collected to identify and close any gaps in children's learning, as quickly as possible. For example, the childminder has helped children to improve their balance while walking, which strengthened their physical skills. As a result, children make good progress from their various starting points. n The childminder develops children's enthusiasm to identify letters and the sounds that they make.

This does not fully support children's early writing skills. n Children respond positively to the clear and consistent boundaries set within the setting. For example, they know to tidy away the toys when they have finished playing with them. This helps children to behave well. n There are good hygiene practices in place to promote children's health and well- being. For instance, the childminder ensures that children wash their hands at appropriate times to minimise the risk of cross-infection. In addition, she provides healthy snacks and cooks nutritious meals to contribute to children's healthy lifestyles. n Children learn about the wider world, such as through regular visits to playgroups and theme parks. They also visit the local supermarket where they learn many skills, such as how to pay for food items. n The childminder promotes her professional development actively, for example,

Safeguarding

The childminder keeps her knowledge of safeguarding issues up to date. This enables her to identify if a child is at risk of harm, being exposed to extreme views, or exploited to gangs. The childminder has clear procedures for reporting any concerns to relevant authorities to protect a child's welfare. She also knows the action to take in the event of an allegation being made against herself or household members. The childminder implements the required policies with regard to the safe use of mobile phones and cameras in the setting. She supervises children well to help keep them safe.
