p.1

The provision is good

The childminder is gentle and patient. She creates an environment where children feel safe and secure. She understands children's starting points and clearly sets out how she will support their next stage of learning. Children begin to increase their learning at their own individual pace because the childminder knows them well and how they learn best. For example, the childminder begins to attach words together to make simple sentences that very young children can repeat and understand.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder places an importance on ensuring children are happy and settled in her home. She spends time during the settling-in period and throughout the childcare arrangement gathering information that enables her to support children's learning and development. She tailors the settling-in period to each individual child to support them to feel happy and gain confidence in tackling new experiences. Children settle quickly and they are interested in the activities available.

p.2

The provision is good

They consider size and shape as they learn to use words such as 'tall', 'small', 'round' and 'square'. n The childminder liaises effectively with parents and other professionals to help children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to make good progress from their starting points. She follows advice from experts to offer children with SEND better opportunities to fulfil their potential.
