p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is passionate in her pursuit of excellence in her practice. She consistently researches new ideas to provide the best possible opportunities for children. For example, she makes exceedingly good use of information sharing at childminding network groups to extend her practice and promote her professional development. She also attends relevant training, such as how to promote positive behaviour, which helps her to continually improve outcomes for children and promote their emotional security. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a thorough understanding of potential risks and the procedure to follow should she have a concern about a child. Parents compliment the service the childminder provides. They value the excellent advice, feedback and support they receive, and comment how much their children enjoy attending.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

From the moment children start, the childminder ensures they are happy, safe and enjoy outstanding learning opportunities. She plans highly stimulating activities that she knows they will enjoy and that provide extensive challenge. For example, she builds on children's interest in a national sporting event to provide materials for them to construct and decorate goal posts, which they use to kick and roll balls through. Children enjoy activities to promote their coordination, such as threading cereal hoops onto pasta sticks to make fireworks, although younger children struggle to thread as the materials are small for their fingers. The childminder provides children with an excellent range of high quality resources. She promotes a love for books; for example, she recently involved children in events to mark an international book event. Children brought in their favourite stories from home and enjoyed sharing these with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children have lots of fun and make excellent progress from their starting points. They laugh and smile as they play. The childminder uses positive methods to manage their behaviour. She actively promotes good manners, care and respect. The childminder expertly uses methods that children can easily understand to teach them how to keep themselves healthy and safe. She places a very high focus on developing children's independence throughout all routines and activities. The childminder provides outstanding support for children's well-being, including the teaching of healthy lifestyles and social skills. She also actively teaches children about each other and the world they live in.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make outstanding progress from their individual starting points. All children are active, interested and motivated learners. They are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning and eventual move to school.
