Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has enhanced her understanding of the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage. She has implemented new systems, which effectively support her to monitor children's progress and identify any gaps in their learning. She regularly shares this progress with parents and is supportive of helping them to contribute to keep her informed about what children enjoy at home. This includes, for example, sharing the summary of assessment for children aged two years. The childminder makes focused observations about what children achieve and plans well for their next steps. She interacts warmly. She is confident to extend learning, such as helping children to sound out the letters of their name. She asks questions and waits for children to answer, enabling children to talk confidently about the pictures they colour in.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a caring role model. She understands children's needs well. She is supportive of children's independence, for example, in their hygiene and self-care routines. The childminder is mindful to liaise with parents for children's well-being. For instance, she has a good understanding of any allergies and encourages parents to provide healthy, nutritious meals for their children. The childminder is supportive of how children understand differences in culture. For example, she shows them how to use chopsticks at lunchtime. The childminder listens to children and welcomes their views, such as when children adapt ideas for the skittles game they enjoy, and work out they can throw the beanbags more easily if they stand up.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children have fun during their play. They confidently choose what they want to do. Children enjoy activities with the childminder. For example, they initiate a game of indoor skittles. They show awareness of numbers. They count how many skittles are knocked down and how many remain. Children identify shapes and colours as they colour in pictures. They speak with ease during their play, showing emotional security in the childminder's care. Children show readiness for the next stages of their learning.
