Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder sits on the floor with the children and very skilfully supports them in their play. For example, she expertly models language by repeating words the children say and introduces new vocabulary at every opportunity. She plans very well thought out activities that she knows will excite and challenge young children. For example, she encourages children to talk about what they are doing, what they see and recognise as they plant seeds in the flower pots. The children experiment with tools in the earth and demonstrate increasing coordination of their hands and fingers which helps get them ready for future writing.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children confidently seek out the childminder for support and attention and they enjoy cuddles. The childminder encourages the children to learn good hygiene routines, such as washing hands before eating. Children behave extremely well. The childminder provides consistent and desirable behavioural expectations and is a very positive role model. She encourages children to learn about the world in which they live. For example, they enjoy walking around the local community, outings to local parks and rides on buses. They celebrate festivals, for example, Mother's Day. Children learn to stay safe, such as when crossing the road.

They develop very good early writing skills as they draw and make marks with sticks in the sand and chalk on stone slabs. Children are independent, communicate extremely well and enjoy learning. They are confident and motivated learners. Children are very well-prepared for their move to school.
