good practice. Good arrangements support children when they move on to their next phase in learning. Successful links with local schools are in place.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children initiate many activities themselves and these are effectively supported by the childminder and her assistant. For example, children enjoy listening to stories and lifting the flaps in books to discover what is hidden underneath. Children use their imagination well and they play with dolls. The childminder and children explore a range of festivals together. This helps children begin to be aware of people from different faiths and cultures. The childminder successfully engages children in purposeful activities which motivates them to learn. For example, children bake their own bread for their snack. They count spoonfuls of ingredients into a bowl, which helps support their early mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides regular opportunities for children to socialise and develop their physical skills. For example, they regularly attend local playgroups and gym clubs. This helps to prepare children for the next stage in their learning including school, as they make new friends and learn how to share. The childminder supports children's independence skills and guides their learning well. For example, she shows children how to safely use knives as they make their own sandwiches for lunch. Children learn about keeping safe. They regularly take part in fire evacuations so they are familiar with what they have to do in an emergency.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and communicate well. They display good self-care skills during daily routines. Their physical movements are developing well. For example, children move their bodies in time with music, swirling scarves in the air. Children confidently draw and practise reading. These abilities help children to develop the key skills needed for their future learning and readiness for school.
