The provision is good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's care. They form secure attachments with her kind, friendly and nurturing support. Children enjoy the childminder joining in with their play. The childminder supports children with her humour and reassuring praise and guidance. She has high expectations for children. Children make good progress overall. The childminder helps children to build the skills and understanding they need for their future learning. For instance, she helps children aged under two years to develop their curiosity and fine muscle control as they match pictures of animals on the stamps of envelopes to those in their storybook. Children enthusiastically make the animal sounds and post the envelopes through a narrow pretend letterbox.

The provision is good

Children grow in confidence. They build strong bonds with the childminder from the start, which contributes to their confidence and well-being. The childminder helps children to behave well and begin to manage their own emotions. For example, children develop the confidence to follow the childminder's instructions and to make decisions about what to play with or work on next. They learn how to look after themselves and others. For example, children comfortingly cradle their baby dolls or build their knowledge of dental care through their role play. Parents and carers appreciate the childminder's warm and caring approach to supporting their children's well-being.

n The childminder accurately assesses children's needs from her own observations and sharing regular information with parents. She plans well overall to systematically build on children's achievements and interests. However, the childminder does not consistently enrich and deepen children's learning through, for example, extending their sensory play and experiences of nature. n Children develop their personal skills well. The childminder guides children to independently put on their own coats and shoes, choose their own toys and tidy away as they finish their play. She helps children to live healthily. For example, the childminder guides children to thoroughly wash their hands, supported by lively and engaging songs. n The childminder prioritises the development of children's speaking and listening skills. She makes use of a range of strategies to help children to build their early vocabulary. For instance, the childminder mirrors words children say and adds

new and interesting words to form simple phrases and sentences. She asks thoughtful questions and leaves time for children to respond. n The childminder helps children to develop their early mathematical skills well. Children are regularly engaged in counting activities that help to secure their understanding of the quantities that match different numbers. The childminder

13 May 2025 helps children to recognise different quantities, for instance, as they sort shells in their sand and water play. n The childminder is a warm and positive role model. She establishes clear routines that help children to manage their own expectations and behaviour. She introduces children to books and stories that help them to recognise and increasingly understand their own emotions. n The childminder helps children to develop their physical skills well. They build their hand control through threading, posting activities and using different thicknesses of paintbrushes as they make marks on the fence with water. These skills help to prepare children for later early writing skills. Children develop their large motor skills through, for instance, regular walks, action songs and dances and visits to local parks and other places of interest. n The childminder is ambitious to help children grow to be happy and self-

confident. She makes good use of regular training, for instance on developing her understanding of children's brain development, speech and learning development, to develop her practice. She reviews her provision with other childminders and local authority early years advisory staff. n The childminder builds positive relationships with parents from the start to help children make a confident start. Parents strongly recommend the childminder. They appreciate how happy and engaged their children are in her care. Parents welcome the very regular information the childminder shares with them on their children's daily activities and ongoing progress.
