Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides good quality teaching. She observes and records children's achievements. The childminder knows the children she cares for well. She plans interesting and challenging activities for children both within the home and out in the community. Parents are well informed and involved in their child's learning. Children enjoy lots of art and craft activities. The childminder incorporates mathematics and literacy into everyday play. One example of this is when she asks children to count the pom-poms they are sticking and then to sound out the initial letters of the animals they create. Children's speech is developing well. The childminder talks with them as they play and uses effective strategies to support their confidence and communication skills. Children learn about different cultures through a wide range of activities, discussions and resources. This helps them understand the importance of respecting each other's differences.
