The childminder supports her assistant well, and ensures he knows the policies and procedures for the setting. Parents express positive views about the care their children receive; they say they feel fully involved in their children's development, and express that their children are nurtured and happy. A range of policies and procedures is in place, which the childminder implements and shares with parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly and accurately assesses children's progress. She plans activities that reflect children's interests and which link to their next steps in learning. For example, they learn about letters, shape and colour when playing with dough, which supports their early literacy and mathematical development. Children are developing good language and communications skills. They look at books in the play tent with the childminder, and sing songs at key times throughout the day. Children have opportunities to learn about the wider community. They visit local groups, a nature reserve, parks and museums.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are safe and well behaved. The childminder supports children's health and well- being well. For example, she provides a good range of nutritious snacks and meets the specific dietary needs of the children in her care. The childminder supports children to develop good personal, social and emotional skills. All children have opportunities to serve food and drink to their peers at lunchtime, they point out each child's name written on their individual water bottles. Children move around confidently and are encouraged to make choices about their play. Young children learn about the care of babies, for example, they wrap the doll in a blanket for bedtime. The childminder focuses her attention on the children's individual needs and is able to identify their preferences and interests. Children receive meaningful praise for their achievements, which has a positive impact on their self-esteem and motivation, to succeed further in

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children concentrate well on tasks and develop the necessary skills to continue to make progress for their future learning. Children achieve well for their age.
