The excellent system for the supervision and appraisal of the childminder's assistant, contributes to the exceptional practice taking place. The childminder and her assistant are highly qualified.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has a superb understanding of how children learn and uses her expert knowledge to ensure they make exceptional progress in their learning. Children are highly engaged and fully focused in their play. For example, they enthusiastically act out the role of the adult in the role- play area, making tea and dressing dolls. The childminder uses real experiences which allow her to use mathematics for a purpose. An example of this outstanding practice is children preparing fruit. Children expertly use tools to cut, peel and section the fruit for other children to make choices from. Teaching motivates children and the childminder has a very sharp focus on developing children's speaking and listening skills. Children are highly enthusiastic and show great delight in activities, such as guessing games, story time and singing nursery rhymes. This contributes to the development of their exceptional communication skills and motivation to learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is very skilful at responding to children's needs. Her excellent use of praise and consistent approach helps to support children's emotional well-being. Behaviour is exemplary. The childminder has a highly positive approach to children's health. There are excellent opportunities for outdoor play and a strong focus on developing children's understanding of good hygiene, such as why they brush their teeth after lunch. A strong link with parents, exceptional routines and a dedication to following children's individual care routines help them to feel very safe and secure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are making exceptional progress considering their starting points. For those children whose starting points are lower, identified gaps are addressed and the achievement gap is being narrowed. Children are developing key skills in their communication and language, and physical and social development. This helps them become ready for their future learning and school. All children, including those who receive additional funding, are making rapid progress across all areas of learning.
