Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of the teaching is good. The childminder provides a good range of resources, and encourages children to explore and learn. She carries out observations of children to assess the next stages in their development. When planning activities, the childminder takes account of children's interests and levels of development. She promotes young children's physical development well, for example, by providing resources that encourage movement and strengthen their muscles. She supports babies and young children's communication and language development, including responding to their babbling and reading them stories. She teaches children to enjoy books. For example, children learn to handle books and look at pictures from an early age to stimulate their thinking skills. Additionally, they develop early mathematical skills, such as learning to recognise shapes. Older children have opportunities to learn about everyday technology, such as by using

computers, to help them learn skills for the future.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder teaches children to become independent and do things for themselves. She encourages them to choose their own resources, which she displays at their level. Children benefit from daily fresh air and exercise. They learn about staying healthy, such as through the nutritional food they receive. The childminder provides positive images of others, for example, by using resources and displays, in order to help children learn about differences in people and languages. The childminder knows how to promote children's personal, social and emotional development well. For example, she takes them to libraries, parks and children's centres to encourage them to socialise.
