p.1

The provision is good

The childminder creates a safe, warm and comfortable environment for children, where they are happy and confident. Children are eager learners and explore with great interest the different activities on offer as part of the childminder's ambitious curriculum. Children are settled and secure within the setting. They seek the childminder out to show her their accomplishments when they have completed a task. The childminder offers children lots of praise and encouragement and children show pride in their own achievements.

The provision is good

Children's behaviour is good. The childminder skilfully helps children to learn the importance of sharing and taking turns. As they all sit together playing a colour sorting game, the childminder ensures that children have an equal number of hoops and that the colours they have change after each round. Older children support younger children to understand the rules of the game, showing them which hoops should belong on which pole.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder encourages children to develop their independence skills. Children develop their competence in self-care routines. Older children go and help themselves to a tissue to wipe their own noses. Children feed themselves during snack time and go and help themselves to their water bottles when needed across the morning.

n The childminder knows her children well. She has spent time observing and monitoring children as they settle within the setting. This allows the childminder to put in place a clear focus for their learning moving forward. She understands the importance of providing children with challenges to continue to build on what they already know and what it is they need to learn next. n The childminder is enthusiastic in her interactions with children. She shows a genuine interest in children's play and supports them to extend their games. When children have small figures on bicycles, the childminder shows them how to pull them back, so they ride independently. Children laugh as they watch the bicycles race across the table, waiting to see who will win. Children are eager to share experiences with the childminder. They snuggle up with her on the sofa to share stories, pointing out what they see on each page.

n Overall, the childminder promotes children's communication and language well. She provides a language-rich environment full of narrative and repetition. When children mispronounce words, the childminder clearly repeats the words back to them. However, sometimes the childminder can be too enthusiastic in her questioning of children. She asks several questions at once, and does not provide children with enough time to recall the information they would like to

Children happily enjoy bowls filled with grapes, apples, raspberries and strawberries, asking for more when they are finished. The childminder provides a freshly made lunch daily, and encourages children to try the accompanying vegetables. The childminder teaches children about the importance of washing their hands, especially after wiping their noses and before eating. n The childminder uses her local environment to extend children's learning and teach them about the world around them. Children attend local playgroups where they can socialise with other children. They take part in different activities about different festivals and world events, such as Diwali, Halloween or Remembrance Day. The childminder takes children on regular trips to the local park where they can navigate different obstacles, negotiate risk and build on

their physical development. She uses nature walks through the woods to teach children about the changing seasons. n Partnership with parents is good. Parents appreciate the flexible service the childminder provides and her calm and caring nature. They feel well informed of how their children are doing, receiving regular verbal updates and pictures of their children engaged in play. n The childminder is reflective in her practice and regularly seeks feedback from parents. She continues to undertake regular training opportunities offered by the local authority to ensure that she remains up to date with best practice.
