The childminder evaluates the effectiveness of her provision well. She is aware of her areas of strength, which include the variety of enrichment trips and outings children enjoy in her care.

The childminder is highly qualified and is committed to continuous improvement. She has firm plans to increase the indoor space available for children to play in the future.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes accurate assessments of individual children's starting points. She uses these effectively to plan activities that help them meet their next steps in learning. Children make good progress as she closely matches activities to their individual interests. Children enjoy a wide range of activities including collaborative painting, singing, using technological toys, regular trips to the park, small-world and messy play. The childminder skilfully emphasises key vocabulary and encourages children to copy her words. She ensures children have plenty of opportunities to link words to objects, actions and images. Younger children quickly move on from gesturing to using intentional speech in their conversations. They learn the names of familiar animals during small-world play. Children develop strong physical skills as they learn to climb and to use slides and a range of other outdoor equipment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy eating healthy meals. They learn skills such as how to put their shoes on, to help them become independent. Younger children learn to feed themselves using cutlery and older children drink from open cups. The childminder promotes good hygiene by encouraging children to wash their hands after playing and before eating. The childminder models positive interaction well. She listens to children's views and feelings, and sensitively takes these into consideration. Children tidy up after they finish playing and show respect for the childminder and each other. Children learn about the world around them through regular visits to places of interest with the childminder.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children learn to investigate changes in materials. They learn toileting skills in preparation for their move on to nursery. Older children learn to recognise their names, count reliably and name letters of the alphabet and their associated sounds. They enjoy drawing and learn to correctly handle tools for writing.
