p.1

The provision is good

The childminder ensures that children are relaxed, and they feel happy in her care. She has formed secure attachments with the children. The childminder has high expectations of children's behaviour and is a very good role model to them. She is consistent in praising and encouraging them as they play, which builds on children's self-esteem effectively. In turn, children eagerly follow the childminder's instructions and behave well. The childminder knows children's individual needs very well. This is because she gathers a wealth of information about them before they start.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder plans a range of interesting and fun activities that cover all areas of the curriculum. She monitors children's progress and development and plans for their next steps effectively. She supports children with significant events in their lives that may impact their emotional well-being. Children enjoy listening to stories about the arrival of a new baby and how they will be an older sibling. Children have good opportunities to socialise with other children through planned outings. For instance, they take part in baking sessions at another childminder's home. They also enjoy stories and songs at the library. The childminder provides good opportunities to develop children's understanding of the lives of others and appreciation of diversity. All children, including those for whom the childminder receives funding, make good progress from their starting points.

n The childminder develops children's language and communication skills well. She talks to the children about what they are doing and their personal experiences. The childminder supports children's interest in books and teaches older children to recognise letter sounds and familiar words. She asks children questions to extend their learning. However, in her enthusiasm, she forgets to give children enough time to think through their answers and responses. n Children are curious and excited to learn. They show a keen interest in exploring outdoors and eagerly explore making marks. They use chalk and large paint brushes with water to make marks and shapes on the garden wall.

20 July 2023 put on their own shoes and know where to hang up their belongings. Children gain the key skills needed for the next stage in their learning and eventual move on to school. n Children develop a good understanding of health and personal hygiene. For example, they understand the need to wash their hands before eating and after outdoor play. The childminder provides healthy snacks of fruit and plenty of water to drink. However, the childminder does not always explain why it is important to choose healthy foods, such as fruit, instead of crisps and instant noodles. n Since the last inspection, the childminder has made some significant improvements in her practice and provision. For example, she has completed training in how to prepare children to be ready for school and how to support children's interests. The childminder has also obtained professional advice to build upon her knowledge and skills. She has reviewed all her risk assessment

Safeguarding

The childminder keeps children safe and promotes their welfare. For example, she has accessed training in first aid and child protection. The childminder has a good understanding of the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about the children's welfare. She recognises the possible signs and symptoms of abuse or neglect, including those relating to a wide range of safeguarding issues. The childminder undertakes regular checks of all areas of her home and garden. She uses equipment, such as safety gates and barriers in the garden, to restrict children's access to high-risk areas.
