Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an exceptional understanding of the procedure to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. She supervises children vigilantly and is alert to hazards to ensure children's safety. The childminder consistently meets the individual needs of every child to ensure that all children achieve their full potential. She has excellent relationship with schools and other early years settings children attend, to promote a highly collaborative approach to children's learning. The childminder conscientiously identifies her strengths and priorities for development and makes highly successful changes to benefit the children. She recognises she could do even more to enhance children's outdoor play experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children have excellent communication skills. The childminder promotes their language development exceptionally well. She continuously challenges children to think and work things out for themselves. For example, children learn to problem solve as they look for natural resources to build their obstacle course. Children benefit from inspirational activities that promote their next steps for learning. For example, two-year-olds excitedly learn about shape, size and number when baking biscuits. They gain early reading skills, for example, as they follow visual prompts in the recipe books. Children brush the oil onto the tray, which helps to develop their early writing skills. The childminder successfully promotes a very strong awareness of similarities and differences in others. For example, she encourages children to listen and respect the views of their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish in the stimulating and challenging environment. They are easily able to make choices in their play and this further sustains their interest. The childminder fosters children's health and well-being. For example, she works very closely with parents to provide nutritious meals and snacks to promote an understanding of a healthy diet. Children have daily opportunities to be physically active, in the garden and on outings in the community. The childminder uses daily routines extremely effectively to encourage children's independence. For example, young children learn to manage their own personal needs and pour their drinks with excellent control. Children are extremely well behaved. They enjoy consistent praise and reassurance and thrive in the childminder's care. The childminder's calm and soothing manner helps to ensure she establishes excellent relationships with the children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are curious, extremely confident, and highly motivated to learn. They are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of learning and school.
