Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder recognises the importance of providing a balance between adult-led and child-initiated play. She sits with the children, allowing them to lead their own play, while adding ideas and asking challenging questions where helpful. The childminder has a thorough understanding of each child's needs and has clear plans for supporting their next steps. She assesses their progress regularly and reviews published guidance to ensure any gaps in learning are identified and supported.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave very well and enjoy making choices about their activities. They display very good manners and an eagerness to talk and share their experiences, as well as hearing those of other children. The childminder encourages children to be welcoming and accepting of each other's differences. Children show respect for one another's feelings and manage their own feelings well. Children enjoy being active during trips and outings. They enjoy healthy meals and snacks, and are developing an understanding of how to keep their body fit and healthy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy independently accessing a wide range of resources. For example, they help themselves to books, looking at the pictures and talking about how these relate to their own experiences. They enjoy using crayons to mark make and are developing some awareness of the letters which form their name. Children's artwork is displayed, which children enjoy looking at and talking about. Children eagerly accept challenges and persevere for long periods. This helps them develop the skills required for future learning.
