The childminder demonstrates a well-organised approach to her role. She supports the professional development of her assistants effectively and they work well as a team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She has effective ways to observe and assess children's learning. This includes gathering information from parents about what children enjoy and can do when they first start. The childminder promotes children's physical, social and communication skills well. For example, children experiment with sounds as they bang drums and shake percussion instruments. The childminder and her assistants talk to them about the different sounds and support their listening and attention skills. The childminder plans enjoyable activities to support their emerging interests. This motivates children and helps them to make good progress. The childminder completes the progress check for children aged between two and three years, and provides parents with a copy for their children's health visitor.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistants effectively foster children's emotional and physical well-being. Children enjoy relationships that are warm and supportive, gaining self- confidence as they grow and develop. Children benefit from regular outdoor play. They learn about healthy lifestyles. They enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals and understand the importance of washing their hands. For example, children are reminded to wash their hands before and after eating. The childminder and her assistants offer consistent praise and encouragement to children, which helps to support their confidence and self-esteem. The childminder and her assistants are good role models, demonstrating good manners and supporting children to learn social skills, such as sharing.

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated and determined. All are making good progress across every area of their learning and development. Children are very happy in the childminder's home. They have built suitable relationships with their peers, the childminder and her assistants.

Children show they can attend to tasks and concentrate on things that interest them. They are developing very appropriate skills and attitudes in readiness for their move on to school.
