She maintains her professional development through regular attendance on courses and adapts her teaching to promote children's learning more effectively. The childminder ensures her assistants have opportunities for supervision meetings.

Parents are extremely pleased with the progress children make in the childminder's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans well for children's individual learning needs. She holds discussions with parents and makes use of her own observations to identify the next steps in their child's learning. She has clear learning intentions for each child and ensures they have opportunities to develop various skills, such as hand-eye coordination. She engages children fully and adapts her teaching so that every child receives good support and guidance. The childminder is skilled at weaving colours and numbers into conversations. She knows what children can do and provides opportunities for them to extend their learning. She consistently encourages them to solve problems. For example, children squeeze tubes to release glue and they practise cutting paper. The childminder motivates children well and raises their self-esteem with lots of praise.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and have lots of fun. They eagerly run outside to play at the sand and water tray. Children enjoy hiding and looking for their favourite toy animals, such as dinosaurs. Their good health is promoted well through healthy snacks and daily physical play. Children drink water regularly and rest after vigorous exercise. They develop good personal skills and spontaneously change activities. They fill and empty containers at the water tray and take great delight in using toy hammers to bang on equipment. Children's behaviour is good and they are learning to share and take turns at using resources. Children demonstrate that they feel emotionally secure as they confidently request help.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All groups of children, including those in receipt of funded education, make good progress in their learning and development. Children who speak English as an additional language follow instructions correctly and are able communicators. Children use one-handed toy tools to turn screws and they are engrossed as they prepare meals at the role-play kitchen unit. Children learn to make marks, count confidently and enjoy listening to stories. They develop good social and emotional skills and mix with other children in large groups away from the childminder's home. Children enjoy learning and are well prepared for their move on to nursery or school.
