p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are very engaged in their learning. They receive a good level of challenge in activities and the childminder uses a range of skills to support them to learn as they play. For example, the childminder asks questions and joins in with role play to develop children's interests. The childminder promotes children's language development well. For example, as children play with modelling dough, she names the shapes she is cutting and describes what is happening to broaden their vocabulary. Children name colours and answer questions about what they are thinking and doing. The childminder is well aware of children's development and their individual needs. She sets high levels of challenge that are appropriate to children's ages and stages of development. The childminder shares the assessments she makes with parents so that they can contribute towards planning the next targets for their children's learning.
