p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts warmly. She knows the children well and guides their play alongside their interests. Overall, she is confident in how she extends children's learning and, in particular, their emerging language. For example, she sings rhymes with children and enthusiastically encourages them to join in with words and actions. The childminder makes regular and focused observations. These support her in making assessments and ensuring children remain on track to achieve their potential. Parents state that their children enjoy attending and develop good progress in their speech. The childminder encourages children to show interest in books and literacy. For example, she regularly reads with the children and encourages them to name what they see in pictures or guess what is happening in the story.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers regular outings and experiences away from the home to support the ways children socialise with others. She is supportive of their independence and growing awareness of early health and self-care routines. For instance, she shows children how to wash hands before eating. Children thoroughly enjoy their healthy meals and snacks. The childminder is encouraging of how children learn about the diversity of the wider world. For example, she reads books from other cultures and provides children with small-world toys and characters with which to play . She warmly speaks with children about taking turns so they develop an awareness of sharing toys.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to play and learn. They develop good levels of recall and learn new words as they sing songs and rhymes with the childminder. Younger children gain confidence and independence as they fit puzzles pieces in the correct places. They have fun exploring with musical instruments and listen to different sounds. Children show interest in books as they read with the childminder. They imitate sounds of the animals in the story. Children learn about colours and start to identify these, such as when playing with cars. They show emerging mathematical interest, for example, confidently counting and recognising numbers, and are starting to put numbers into context.
