This provision is outstanding

 The childminder has an excellent understanding of how to promote the learning and development of young children. She provides an exceptional range of high-quality learning experiences, both indoors and outdoors. As a result, children are enthusiastic, confident and highly motivated learners.  All children behave very well because the childminder has high expectations of them. She is skilled in helping children learn about the boundaries that are in place for safety, and they listen and respond positively to her.  Children are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning and for moving on to school. This is because they receive outstanding support to develop their personal, social and emotional development. This means that they are increasingly independent, play well together and learn the skills needed to cooperate and negotiate with others.  The childminder has established strong partnerships with others involved in children's

learning. This results in a fully shared approach to children's care and learning between the different settings which some children attend.  Parents are fully engaged in their children's learning and development. The childminder shares information about their progress, and welcomes parents' contributions to their child's records. This supports children's learning and individual care needs extremely well. Children's good health and well-being are met to a very high standard.  Children demonstrate that they feel safe, secure and happy in the childminder's care. Relationships between the childminder and the children are extremely warm and mutually respectful.  The inspiring commitment of the childminder is evident through all areas of her work with children and their families. Her effective self-evaluation and plans for professional development underpin her goal of achieving the very highest outcomes for children.

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector looked at a selection of documents, including children's records and assessments of learning, policies and procedures.  The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of adults living on the premises and the childminder's qualifications.  The inspector took into account the views of parents provided in written comments.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder understands her role and responsibilities and has an excellent understanding of statutory requirements. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder gives high priority to maintaining a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of child protection issues and updates her training in this area. Since her last inspection, the childminder has begun to study for a degree in early childhood policy and practice. As she gains further knowledge, she reflects on, and adapts her practice, in order to improve outcomes for children. The childminder demonstrates she has a good understanding of how to support disabled children and those with special educational needs. However, she has identified that she wants to gain more training and experience in this area, in order to become more confident in supporting these children. The childminder has implemented systems to monitor children's progress effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder's quality of teaching is exceptional. This is reflected in the excellent progress the children make. The childminder skilfully guides and extends children's learning. She knows the children exceptionally well and provides innovative activities that effectively support their next steps. Children are helped to make links in their learning. For example, after gathering natural materials on a walk, they use the resources to talk about difference in shape and size, make close observations and use them for a range of creative activities. Children's imagination is particularly well supported. For example, the childminder helps them to listen carefully for sounds in the environment and to use their imagination, when working out, who or what might be making them. Children are excellent talkers and engage in interesting and constructive discussions which maintain their concentration very effectively. They engage in physical activities in the garden and

socialise well in their community. Observations, assessments and planning show clear progression of development. They include information gathered from parents about children's interests and learning achieved while at home. The childminder also liaises with children's key workers at other settings. This means that a fuller picture of progress is obtained.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is clear about what children may and may not do and offers clear explanations. This helps them understand how to behave and why rules exist. The childminder's risk assessments and safe working practices keep children safe and they learn how to manage risks. For example, the childminder has taught the children how to climb down from the trampoline safely. Children's good self-esteem is nurtured exceptionally well. They enjoy talking about their artwork and photographs that the childminder displays on the wall.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make good or rapid progress in their learning. The childminder is very focused in ensuring children leave her setting with the skills they need for school. She also works closely with parents and other early years professionals to ensure children are emotionally prepared for their next learning environment.
