who attend. This is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent knowledge of the learning and development requirements and implements them to an extremely high standard. She places great importance on children leading their own learning. Resources are well organised and presented in various ways to enable children to make choices. The childminder skilfully observes children and where she sees opportunities to further extend their development she becomes involved in their play. For example, during water play she provides a number of exciting resources, such as funnels, to develop children's ideas about pouring and filling different containers. The childminder talks about what they are doing, modelling new words appropriate to the activity. She consistently extends communication and language development. Consequently, children use their imagination and are highly motivated and curious learners. Children have very good opportunities to express themselves creatively,

although visual displays tend to show the work completed as part of planned activities. Observations are precise and sharply focused on each child's needs. These are shared frequently with parents. This contributes to the rapid progress children make.

outstanding

Children thoroughly enjoy their time with the childminder, who is very attentive to their individual needs. Ongoing discussions between the childminder and parents have an immense impact on the excellent support for children. This also ensures children settle very quickly into the care of the childminder. The childminder is an excellent role model, and helps children learn about boundaries and expectations. Resources outside entice children to explore and investigate while enjoying the fresh air and exercising. Enriching and purposefully planned activities enhance children's sensory skills. For example, they use a kaleidoscopic mirror to help explore the shapes and patterns of shells and other natural objects. As a result, children are very confident and independent learners.

p.3

provision is outstanding

The childminder is committed to delivering outstanding practice to children and their families. She ensures all requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage are met to an excellent standard. Through completing regular training and using skills and experience from her work in other childcare settings, the childminder offers a first-class service. The childminder adapts her care precisely for every child. She completes accurate assessments of children's development, which she monitors so that children receive the support they need in a meticulous and robust way. Parents' written comments are very complimentary, describing the service the childminder provides as 'brilliant' and 'exceptional'. The childminder sees the safeguarding of children as her utmost priority. Her policies and procedures are comprehensive and contribute to the safe and highly efficient management of the setting.
