Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The well-qualified childminder uses her substantial knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage to meet children's needs exceptionally well. She makes excellent use of frequent training to understand and meet the needs of children of different ages and genders. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder demonstrates an excellent understanding of her safeguarding responsibilities. She monitors children's attendance, well-being and behaviour extremely carefully to help ensure that they remain safe. The childminder continually improves her provision. For example, she has altered her use of resources so that children can access them more independently and make better use of them. The childminder has developed a large range of policies to guide her practice. She reviews these regularly and shares them with parents. Parents are extremely positive about the childminder's provision for their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is extremely skilled in using conversation and questioning with children to extend and deepen their learning. She listens to children extremely well and enables them to explore their interests to very good effect. Children engage with their activities with substantial focus and depth. For example, during the inspection children enjoyed a sequence of outdoor water activities. During these activities the childminder nurtured children's speaking, mathematical and scientific skills and knowledge. The childminder takes great care over her presentation of resources so that they capture children's interest. She assesses children's developing skills and understanding very precisely, with input from their parents, and keeps meticulous records of children's learning and achievement.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder treats children in an extremely supportive, encouraging and tender manner. Children display extremely high levels of confidence. The childminder has very high behavioural expectations and models courteous and caring behaviour at all times. Children demonstrate excellent behaviour towards each other. They play together, share resources and are very sensitive towards each other's feelings. For example, during the inspection one child offered another child a teddy to reassure and comfort him. The childminder strongly develops children's independence. For example, she encourages them to wash hands and manage their coats and shoes by themselves, as much as possible. The childminder teaches children to respect other people extremely well but identifies she could do even more to develop children's understanding of people from different cultures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding
