They regularly contribute information about their children's needs and experiences. The childminder provides exceptionally frequent updates for parents regarding children's progress and interests.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder reacts very quickly to children's observed interests and learning, in order to support their excellent progress. Children's exceptional attainment covers all areas of learning. The childminder maintains highly detailed assessments of children's learning and uses these to provide exceptionally accurate levels of challenge during activities. Children benefit from the childminder making excellent use of daily events to extend their learning through imaginative play. Children learn about numbers and the use of money, as well as how to share resources with others. The childminder demonstrates outstanding practice when sustaining children's attention in activities they have been previously reluctant to engage with. Children mix paints and learn the new colours created, which helps draw them into making marks. They compare sizes of puddles, developing their early mathematical skills. Children's excellent progress in developing speaking skills enables

them to clearly explain any difficulties they encounter in their play, such as turning on water taps which are stiff.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder makes highly effectively use of all opportunities to promote children's development of independence, including their self-care skills. The support for children's emotional well-being at times of change is meticulously planned over long periods of time. This includes when children first join the setting or when they move on to other settings. The opportunities for children to learn the satisfaction gained from taking on small responsibilities and helping others are excellent. The childminder ensures that parents understand how good manners and respect for others are taught in her setting. Children learn to manage their behaviour exceptionally well, which contributes to their readiness for school. Children have very good opportunities to learn to manage small risks in their physical play and test their developing strength and coordination skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make exceptional progress in their learning, especially in communication and language, as well as in gaining self-confidence and independence. They very quickly learn effective routines for maintaining good health and hygiene. Children have excellent opportunities to gain a positive awareness of diversity.
