The childminder has effective partnerships with other professionals to ensure a joint approach in achieving continuity and cohesion in children's care and learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder skilfully supports children in their communication and language development. She comments on children's play and uses short phrases and single words for children to copy. Children become confident communicators. They express themselves clearly and make their needs known to others. They listen carefully to instructions and concentrate well as they complete activities, such as making pictures, with perseverance. The childminder plays alongside children to promote their understanding and develop their skills. She interacts positively with children during play and gives them time to consider their responses to questions and suggestions. Children develop the ability to work things out for themselves and gain great satisfaction from solving simple problems. The childminder works effectively in partnership with parents to support children's care and learning needs. She gathers useful information about

children when they join her provision, to help her cater for their routines and plan for their good progress right from the start.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder successfully helps children to understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, including getting fresh air and exercise. Children enjoy the time that they spend outdoors and participate in a range of activities to help support their physical skills. For example, they confidently use apparatus, such as diggers in the sand, and manoeuvre themselves around the garden in ride-along cars. The childminder uses these opportunities to remind them how to keep themselves safe. The childminder provides clear routines for children and sets boundaries to promote positive behaviour. She supports children's understanding of people within their wider world well. For example, children visit local amenities, such as libraries and parks, to enable them to meet people outside of their immediate family.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn a wide range of skills that help them to be confident and well prepared for starting school. They are eager to learn and look forward to playing with each other. Children have good knowledge of letters and the sounds they represent when spoken out loud. For example, they receive support to find letters that are in their names and they learn new letters in their friends' names. Children enjoy socialising and form friendships with others. For example, they go to toddler groups.
