Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

She uses information about children's learning and their stage of development to identify what they need to learn next. The childminder has ongoing discussions with parents and carers so that they know the progress their child is making. She discusses how they can promote learning at home to ensure consistent support for children. As children look at a book she guides them how to turn the pages. She talks to them about the pictures and supports them to learn new words.

Children relate well to the childminder. They behave well and demonstrate that they understand the routines. The childminder helps children to learn about how they can keep themselves safe. The childminder effectively promotes good hygiene and ensures children have continual opportunities to be active outdoors.
