p.1

The provision is good

The childminder has a good learning programme in place. She knows children well and supports their individual learning needs effectively. For instance, while children are playing in the role-play areas they share pretend pasta and talk with their friends. Other children use single words as they play in the same area. This demonstrates that children are developing their communication and language skills in fun and age-appropriate ways.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder's setting is warm and welcoming. When children are sleepy, the childminder settles them in a calm and quiet area where she monitors them carefully. This promotes children's safety as they sleep. Children wake naturally from their naps and this aids their emotional health and well-being.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder builds familiar enjoyable routines into children's days. She makes 'tidy-up time' a fun experience. Children sing and receive encouragement to place their toys and other resources in the correct places and containers. The childminder is a good role model. She talks to children in a calm tone and encourages good manners and sharing through their play. Children use 'please' and 'thank you' often. They have clear boundaries for behaviour.

n The childminder has put in place good opportunities for children to develop their small- and large-muscle skills. For instance, children chase bubbles in the garden and excitedly reach out and try to pop them. Some children create artwork and build with blocks. The space is well laid out, with space for the youngest children to crawl around and play. This promotes children's physical development. n The childminder quickly praises children for their efforts as they play. For instance, she congratulates the children as they count from one to five when they feed the fish by throwing them small handfuls of food. Children are confidently learning and embedding early counting skills. n The childminder has an array of good-quality books to support children's literacy skills. The children enjoy sharing these books with the childminder. However, occasionally, the childminder limits children's time during some activities and

directs their play. This reduces children's opportunities to extend their curiosity and learning even further. n Children have fun as they develop their early writing skills. The childminder provides colouring pens and pencils for children to make marks. She talks to children about the marks they make. This helps children to learn that marks represent meaning. n The childminder uses a planned daily rhyming session to support children's language development. Children sing nursery rhymes with actions. They are

Children are developing early language skills. n The childminder sets up the environment well and supervises children to take care of their own personal needs independently. They confidently wash their hands after learning in the garden, before eating and after toileting. The childminder has put pegs with children's names on in the bathroom. This helps children to recognise their names and dry their hands on their individual hand towels. Children are learning to support their self-help skills well. n Children enjoy fruit at snack time, which the childminder prepares. Children are developing simple independence skills. Some children pour their own drinks and serve themselves fruit. Some children hang their coats on their pegs when they come in from outside. n The childminder reflects on her practice and finds ways to improve her

This helps to improve learning outcomes for children. n Parents are complimentary about the childminder. They comment that she is friendly and approachable. She talks to them about the progress their children are making at the setting. This supports good partnership working with parents.
