p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The well-qualified childminder is extremely professional and well organised. She has a robust set of policies to support her excellent practice. These are regularly reviewed and updated in line with current statutory requirements and guidance. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has an in-depth knowledge of her responsibilities to keep children safe from harm. She is fully familiar with the procedure to follow if she has concerns about a child. Promoting equality is central to the childminder's practice. Children are highly valued. They are encouraged to be confident in making their own decisions, to listen to each other and tell others how they feel. They learn about the diverse world in which they live by engaging in a wide range of activities and opportunities. This promotes children's awareness of similarities and differences in the wider community.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder's practice is extremely child centred. The environment is exceptionally well planned to support children's interests and stages of development. The childminder skilfully follows children's lead in play. She asks questions to encourage children to think and test out their ideas. Children engage in sustained and meaningful learning experiences which are inspirational and present children with many learning opportunities. Children confidently count up to 10 and beyond, whilst those less confident are coaxed and encouraged to achieve their full potential. The childminder has forged significantly successful partnerships with parents. Children's progress is shared with parents who comment extremely positively on the high rates of progress children make in the setting. The childminder has highlighted this as an area she would like to further develop, to ensure parents continue to engage in children's learning at every opportunity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is an exceptional role model to children as she is caring, calm and gentle. As a result, children behave extremely well. The childminder has high expectations and is consistent when managing children's behaviour. Children thoroughly enjoy their time with the childminder and those new to the setting settle quickly. Children's health and well- being is given the upmost priority as the childminder is extremely watchful in the setting and when out and about. The childminder makes robust checks on all aspects of her setting and any places children visit. Children adopt healthy lifestyles as they are encouraged to eat a balanced diet and drink regularly. Their physical well-being is extremely well supported. They have regular opportunities for physical play, such as, when balancing, jumping or when they visit the local park.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are confident and enthusiastic learners. They make consistently high rates of progress in all areas of learning. This means they are extremely well prepared for when they start school. The childminder accurately tracks children's progress from when they first attend the setting. This means she is exceptionally vigilant and quickly identifies any gaps in their learning to ensure extra support is put in place at the earliest opportunity.
