The provision is good

Children are extremely happy in the childminder's welcoming and homely setting. They confidently explore the high-quality resources, both inside and in the garden. The childminder carefully plans the environments around children's interests and the next steps in their learning. She plans visits that help children gain an understanding of their own community and the features of places beyond their local area, such as the seaside. She promotes children's physical development effectively. The childminder provides equipment that enables children to master new skills, such as climbing stairs and kicking a ball. Even the youngest children quickly become confident in using the equipment. They show much prowess in their physical abilities, for example navigating stepping stones with control and coordination.
