She praises children for having a go at cutting out shapes. She reinforces the correct way to hold the scissors. However, sometimes, the childminder moves too quickly on to the next activity. This does not always allow children sufficient time to practise their newly learned skills. n During adult-led activities and play the childminder plans what language she wants to introduce to children. However, when children choose to lead their own play, she does not always adapt her teaching to introduce even more language. This occasionally limits the opportunities children have to hear and widen their vocabulary further. n Parents state that they are well informed about their child's learning. The childminder plans children's next steps with parents. She works with parents to
