Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with a good variety of activities and purposeful play experiences. For example, children take part in singing activities and playing with musical instruments. They make loud and soft sounds to demonstrate leaves falling from trees, as they use their imaginations and learn about rhythm and sound. The childminder introduces different materials that children enjoy, to help them develop their vocabulary as they talk about things that are big, medium and small. She joins in playful games with the children and encourages them to investigate using different objects and materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is calm, caring and uses consistent boundaries to help children understand her expectations. Children's behaviour is good. They are confident to explore their surroundings, reassured that the childminder is nearby. The childminder recognises the importance of being a good role model for children. For instance, she teaches them to be kind to each other, and to share and take turns during play. She encourages healthy eating habits, to help them develop healthy lifestyles.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are settled. They feel safe, secure and willing to learn. Children have good coordination as they move around the environment. They can count, know numbers and shapes, and identify different measurements. Children develop good early reading and writing skills. They have good imaginations, for example, as they engage in pretend play with toy animals. Children are respectful and caring, and develop positive views of others. They are prepared well for their future learning and moving on to school.
