The childminder is committed to helping children achieve the best possible outcome. She works closely with schools to provide a consistent approach to learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gathers detailed information about children's likes, dislikes and interests when they first attend. She uses this information to plan activities which support children to explore and become familiar with their new environment. The childminder consistently observes and monitors children's learning well. She uses this information to identify any gaps in children's development. The childminder provides parents with written assessments and encourages them to share this information with health care professionals. Children receive the early help they need. The childminder uses her expert knowledge to plan effective interventions which ensure emerging gaps in children's learning close rapidly. For example, the childminder uses visual aids and prompts to help children clearly articulate initial sounds in words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well prepared for their next stages and eventual move to school. The childminder fosters children's good behaviour, such as when she models being caring and considerate to others through role-play activities. For example, the childminder attentively feeds and comforts dolls. Children respond well to this and model the childminder's actions. The childminder talks to children about emotions. Children develop an awareness of the impact their behaviour has on others. Children's behaviour is good.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good rates of progress in relation to their starting points and relative to their stage of development. Children learn how to clearly write their name and other familiar words. They enjoy learning numbers and correctly identify corresponding number values. Children are highly motivated and focused in activities and play. Children learn how to live active and healthy lifestyles. They are provided with a selection of healthy foods. Children's physical development is well supported, for example, through the daily outings they take to the local park where they skilfully negotiate climbing equipment.
