Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder works hard to teach children the importance of taking turns and sharing. He enables children to do as much as possible for themselves and always offers support and guidance when needed. The childminder skilfully promotes children's speech and language. Children who speak English as an additional language are invited to learn new English words through a game. When children are uncertain of the answer, he encourages them to use their home language and then helps them to learn the word in English. They are very pleased and excited with their accomplishments. Children are inspired to persevere as they use scissors for the difficult task of cutting the netting from the new Christmas tree. Children take part in many interesting and exciting trips into the local community and enjoy planning their next outing to buy Christmas lights from a local garden centre.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The learning environment is very inviting, incorporating children's interests and this helps motivate children to engage, explore and drive their own learning. Children manage their self-care and hygiene routines with high levels of competence. They enjoy healthy meals that they have prepared themselves. This helps to develop a deep understanding of how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Children take responsibility for washing the dishes after snack time, working well together as a team. They dry their hands on paper towels and understand which bin to use to ensure that it is recycled.
