She completes all mandatory training and regularly updates her knowledge and understanding.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well. She uses assessment documents to accurately evaluate the progress that children are making and identify any need for early intervention.

Children enjoy taking part in a wide range of activities. They use props to make their favourite stories come alive and they are imaginative and creative in their play. Older children talk enthusiastically about their experiences and the childminder builds on these discussions. This contributes to maintaining children's motivation to play and learn and confidence in expressing their own ideas and opinions. Children are developing the skills and attitudes that promote future
