p.1

The provision is good

The childminder has high expectations of children's learning through play. She creates a welcoming and stimulating environment for children to explore and learn in. The childminder and staff provide age-appropriate resources, and children are fully engaged. She encourages children to make decisions about what they want to do, with lots of praise. This means children are keen to have a go and practise their skills. The childminder provides outdoor activities that help to support children's physical development effectively. For example, children demonstrate good coordination and motor skills while using resources, such as a climbing frame and slide.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder joins in with children's play and interacts with them positively. This helps to develop children's understanding, speaking and listening skills. The childminder promotes positive behaviour and teaches children what is expected from them. For example, she acts as a good role model for children to copy. The childminder sets clear boundaries for children to learn right from wrong. This helps children to behave well.

p.2

The provision is good

The childminder gathers information from parents and carers to help settle their children when they start. She encourages children to bring comforters from home to help them. Therefore, children settle quickly and form close attachments with her. Children are happy at the childminder's home. They display high levels of confidence while they play.

n The childminder uses her observations and assessments of children's learning to plan their next steps effectively. This helps all children to make good progress from their starting points in their learning and development. n The childminder guides children to become confident communicators. She speaks clearly and repeats new words, such as 'sprinkle' and 'cocoon', for children to learn. This helps children to develop a broad vocabulary. The childminder uses aids, such as talking electronic toys, to support children's early speech and language, which also helps those children who speak English as an additional language. n The childminder's familiar routines help young children to know what is happening next. Overall, she supports children to develop some self-care skills. For example, children wash their hands before mealtimes and after garden time. However, at times, the childminder does not consistently use opportunities to

build on children's independence skills. For instance, in her enthusiasm, the childminder does some tasks for children, such as tidying away toys and wiping their noses.

They comment that the childminder and staff are very flexible and supportive, especially in helping navigate their children's medical needs. n The dedicated childminder demonstrates a secure understanding of how children learn and develop.
