p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to lead healthy lifestyles. For example, they enjoy regular opportunities to play outdoors. Children learn about the importance of good handwashing prior to eating their snacks and lunch. The childminder helps children to learn respect for each other. For example, they happily wait their turn to use the trampoline. Children play contently alongside others of different ages, for example, pushing toddlers around in sit-on cars, so they all have fun together. Children show independence in their self-care skills and receive plenty of praise for their achievements.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children have fun and engage well in their play. They develop literacy awareness. For example, they listen attentively to stories, and talk about the characters, the spider and the web as they show their understanding of the story. They show high levels of interest in joining in with action songs and rhymes, and are confident to make choices about what to sing next. Children show awareness of numbers as they sing rhymes that help them understand numbers from one to five. Children listen and follow instructions, for instance, when learning how to make sandcastles in the sandpit. They show understanding of filling the bucket 'full up', for example. Children show readiness for the next stages of their learning.
