Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is extremely reflective and strives to achieve high quality provision. She values attendance at training and uses what she learns to strengthen her practice. For example, the childminder has attended training which has helped her to support children to make rapid progress in their speech and language development. She is highly committed to making changes to her provision for the benefit of children. For example, since her last inspection, the childminder has strengthened the way in which she monitors children's progress. She identifies their next steps skilfully and works with parents to plan precisely for activities that help children achieve. The childminder evaluates the success of the activities accurately and makes adaptations so children learn even more next time. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is very knowledgeable about the procedures to follow to protect children's welfare should she have a concern.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of how young children develop and engages in high quality interactions to extend their learning. The childminder meticulously plans fun and challenging activities that suit the needs and abilities of all children. She has very close relationships with the parents and they regularly comment on how happy they are with the exceptional provision. The childminder and parents work in partnership to prepare children for their move to school. Together they help children to become very confident about future learning. When the time comes, the childminder helps children to develop early reading and writing skills and a grasp of mathematics. Children enjoy many creative experiences but the childminder does not consistently help them to investigate a wider range of textures and materials.

Children develop very close attachments with the childminder. She is an excellent role model for the children; for example, she consistently encourages children to be polite and share.

The childminder encourages children's independence skilfully and even the youngest children try to do things for themselves. The childminder teaches children about living healthy lifestyles and promotes their physical development extremely well.

They learn to respect and understand other people's facial expressions depicting their emotions through exciting activities. Children learn an exceptional range of skills that prepare them well for the next stages in their learning. They are very independent and confident learners.
