Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children show that they are keen to learn. They have high levels of curiosity as they play and explore. Children are keen to share their thoughts and ideas.

She teaches children mathematical vocabulary, such as 'half' and 'quarter', as she cuts up fruit for snack time. The childminder finds out from parents what children enjoy doing at home and uses this information to plan resources and activities. She makes regular assessments of children's learning and development to make sure that she accurately plans their next steps in learning. Children build strong foundations for their learning in the future.

She has good arrangements for induction into her setting. Children have flexible settling-in sessions to help them feel familiar with the childminder and her setting. They quickly develop strong emotional bonds with the childminder. Children are confident learners and enjoy becoming increasingly independent. The childminder plans resources that encourage children to use their imaginations. Children enjoy putting the 'baby' to bed and tell the childminder that the 'baby is asleep'. The childminder helps children understand risks, such as the dangers of using sharp knives. This helps children to learn how to keep themselves safe.
