Curriculum and teaching Needs attention

Leaders have started to look at how they can make the indoor environment more conducive to learning. It is a large open space and the level of noise is a factor that needs to be considered to support children's communication and language skills. Leaders understand this and look at different ways in which they can address this. Areas where children can rest and relax are incorporated into the play environment. Staff in the pre-school manage the children's excitement well. When children all want to talk and share their ideas, staff remind them of the importance of taking it in turns to speak so that everyone can be heard. This helps to develop children's listening and attention skills and aid communication. They also remind them to be mindful of the younger children close by and not to speak too loudly.

Leadership and governance Needs attention

The childminder reflects on her practice and recognises areas where further personal learning would strengthen her work. She knows she would benefit from more focused development in supporting children's language, mathematical learning and approaches for children who need extra help. She has a growing understanding of her strengths and is beginning to identify the wider areas that need attention. The childminder is deeply committed to providing a caring and supportive learning environment for children. She strives to build on her provision to provide the best possible outcomes for children.
