She understands the signs and symptoms when a child might be at risk of harm and is confident about the procedures to follow to report any concerns. Links with parents are excellent and ensure that children's learning is supported with what they do at home. Parents are extremely pleased about their children's progress. The childminder keeps up to date with her professional training to ensure she has an excellent understanding of all requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has very high expectations for children's learning and development and is passionate about enabling their learning with planned and spontaneous play. Children are fully involved in planning and reviewing their own learning. For example, they make their own storybooks with favourite photographs and chat very confidently about what they have learned. The childminder enthusiastically encourages children to use their imagination as they make their own resources. She promotes children's language skills skilfully using effective techniques to encourage children to communicate clearly and confidently. Children love to draw and write. The childminder quickly seizes opportunities when children show interest in their learning, such as writing their names. For example, she helps children to recognise the letter sounds. During skilfully planned activities, children compare the shapes and sizes of different toys and count and compare quantities.

These activities help to prepare children brilliantly for the move to school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder pays great attention to children's individual needs as they become familiar with her. She is extremely attentive and knows the children very well. Children learn about healthy eating and healthy practices. For example, they know about the importance of washing their hands before they eat and explain how to do this thoroughly to show they understand. Parents are highly complimentary about the range of physical play activities the childminder offers. However, the childminder is considering how to provide an even wider range of resources for children's already excellent physical development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children display extremely high levels of motivation and engagement. They are keen to learn new skills and are proud when they have mastered something new. Their time with the childminder enhances their learning in all areas and prepares them well for the next stage of development, including the move to school or nursery. For example, children proudly show how they have learned how to make different sized dough shapes and enjoy sharing books and singing songs.
