p.1

The provision is good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. The childminder takes time to get to know children and uses this information to provide activities that they enjoy. For example, children show immense concentration as they make snips in paper by using scissors. They are proud of their achievements, and they happily take their work home with them. The childminder provides plenty of opportunities for children to play and learn outside. Children smile and laugh as they explore the local playground. They demonstrate their physical development, such as they climb, balance and run around the different equipment. The childminder supports children to learn to keep themselves safe and well. For example, on the walk home from nursery, children learn about road safety, checking both ways before crossing.

The provision is good

Children behave well. The childminder puts clear rules and expectations in place that children clearly understand. Children show high levels of self-esteem and confidence. They thoroughly enjoy doing things for themselves and persevere at a task even when it becomes tricky. For example, children enjoy cutting real fruits and vegetables in the role-play area. They adapt how they hold the equipment so that they gain more control, and they are extremely happy when they successfully cut carrots and apples independently. The childminder encourages children to make decisions and choices for themselves. For instance, children skilfully direct everyone home from nursery and choose which playground to stop off at on the way.

n The childminder plans exciting and interesting activities that are based on children's interests. She supports their play by providing them with interesting and age-appropriate resources. For example, the childminder arranges trips to the library to expand on children's interest in books and stories. She also has a number of books in English and children's home languages to help children to develop their language and understanding in both languages. n The childminder has good partnerships with parents. She involves them in children's learning and provides them with daily feedback so that they can continue their children's learning at home. Parents comment on the 'safe' and 'cosy' environment that she offers. n Children develop a good understanding of the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. They benefit from lots of fresh air on the walk home from nursery and the daily visits to the park. Children also enjoy healthy snacks, which they help

30 June 2023 n The childminder completes some mandatory training, such as first aid and safeguarding, which helps to keep children safe. However, she is aware that her professional development could be further expanded, in order to raise the quality of education to the very highest level. n Any concerns about children's development are identified, shared with parents and addressed promptly. The childminder assesses children's progress accurately. She knows what she wants children to learn next and plans her curriculum to help them to achieve their next steps in development. For example, the childminder is passionate about helping children, who have just started attending, to develop their communication and language skills. n The childminder ensures that opportunities to learn about other families, peoples and communities are woven throughout the curriculum and resources that are provided. Children learn about different festivals, celebrations and events

throughout the year. For example, children enjoy playing with Eid balloons that were used when learning about Eid. The childminder has numerous books and resources that she uses to help children understand what makes them unique and how to respect others. n Children play imaginatively in the role-play area. As soon as they arrive at the childminder's home, they eagerly start 'cooking' pasta and adding 'chilli' to their recipe. Children are confident to lead their own play, and the childminder demonstrates a genuine excitement when she plays alongside them. The childminder gathers a great deal of information when children first start and uses this knowledge when having conversations with them as they play.

She uses careful risk assessment to ensure that children's safety, within the home and when on outings, is given the highest priority. The childminder makes sure that children in her care are protected through supervision and use of safe spaces.
