p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has very high expectations of the service she provides, and maintains a consistently high quality provision for children. She meticulously reflects on the service she provides and actively takes into consideration the views of both the children and their parents. The childminder uses this information to make changes and improvements to benefit children. For example, the childminder is making improvements to her home to be able to provide children with additional space and resources. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is highly vigilant and actively ensures that children's safety is consistently maintained. She has a thorough knowledge of the procedure to follow should she have any concerns about a child's well-being to protect them from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder uses her expert knowledge of children's needs and abilities to plan effectively for the next steps in their learning. She accurately monitors children's development and has an excellent all-round view of their progress. The childminder expertly questions children to make them think and to extend their learning. She provides excellent support for children who are learning English as an additional language. She actively promotes children's communication skills, for example, by modelling the correct words for them. All children make excellent progress. Children count objects confidently and enjoy learning about different animals and the sounds they make. Children also thoroughly enjoy exploring musical instruments and expressing themselves through dance. There are fewer opportunities, however, for children to explore different textures and materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is an excellent role model for children. She consistently promotes the use of good manners and being kind and considerate. Children are exceptionally well behaved. The childminder highly values the different cultures of all children in her setting and she actively promotes children's understanding and respect for these. For example, the childminder takes the children to the library to select books about different people and communities that they can explore and link activities to. Children display high levels of independence and are extremely confident; they have exceptional communication and language skills. Children share a very close relationship with the childminder. They are extremely happy and settled, and they thrive in her care.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally well prepared for their move to school or other early years settings; they have daily opportunities to fully develop the skills needed for this move. Children make excellent progress from their starting points.
