p.1

The provision is good

The childminder has warm relationships with the children she cares for and their families. Babies are keen to explore the environment and are confident to access resources they wish to play with. The childminder responds to the children attending to ensure that the activities they engage in are meaningful and support their needs and interests each day. Babies babble happily with the childminder throughout the day, and she responds to them with interest and enthusiasm. The childminder makes sure children feel involved by positioning them close by when she is preparing their food and taking a lead from them in the activities she provides.

She ensures that the environment and resources used by children are safe and meet the needs of the different ages of children who attend during the day.

n The childminder understands the importance of developing children's independence and provides babies with opportunities to climb and practise their walking skills. However, at times, she does not allow children time to persevere when they are finding something tricky. For example, she carries a child to the top of the slide, so they can slide down rather than allowing them time to try to climb the steps for themselves. This does not support them to fully develop their problem-solving skills. n Young children's developing vocabulary is supported through lots of chat and talking to them about the things they are doing together. For example, as a child is practising opening and closing the door on an activity board, she says, 'Open the door'. Children are encouraged to develop a love of reading by having a range of books that they enjoy reading with her. She uses every opportunity to count with children, counting how many objects they can see and counting how
