p.1

This provision is outstanding

 The quality of teaching is exceptional. The childminder places a strong focus on promoting children's communication. For example, all children understand and speak both English and French very well. They are articulate in their interactions with others.  The childminder is a superb role model. Children form very secure attachments with her and their behaviour is exceptional.  The childminder's pursuit of excellence ensures continuous improvements to her provision. She uses all opportunities to further her professional development. For example, recent training increased her knowledge about how younger children learn.  She now plans more exciting and challenging experiences for children that meet their needs particularly well. All children make outstanding progress in their learning.  The childminder has excellent relationships with parents. A regular exchange of information with them and highly accurate assessments help her to know children's

starting points and monitor their progress. She rapidly identifies when children need extra support and any gaps in learning close quickly.  The childminder provides highly stimulating environments for the children. Children show tremendous control over their own learning. They make choices about what and who they want to play with. They have superb self-esteem and confidence.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has very high expectations of the children, herself and her co- childminders. She makes extremely effective use of feedback from her co-childminders, parents and children to improve her setting. For example, she has shared recipes of cooking activities and meals for parents to help them prepare healthy meals at home and share children's enjoyment of cooking. The childminder has kept up to date with current information about keeping children safe. She has a thorough knowledge of what to do in the event of concerns about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has a comprehensive understanding of the children and their families. She makes precise and accurate assessments of children's learning. She plans enthralling experiences that meet their interests. For example, she took advantage of the weather when rain created a pond in the sand tray and brought frogs to live in it. The children eagerly explore the frogspawn, counting the black dots they can see and explain how this changes into tadpoles and frogs. The childminder nurtures children's imagination. For example, she planned a music and movement activity with props to extend children's thinking and understanding about how their bodies feel when exercising. Children eagerly searched out ingredients for a chocolate cake, named vegetables in French and English, and then danced like penguins before feeling their heartbeats and settling down to recover.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder helps children learn about the environment, people and the wider community, and prepares them very well for moving on to playgroup or school. For example, they love taking picnics to the local park, and exploring the exotic plants and insects in the nearby botanic garden. They visit local libraries to find out about different celebrations and share play experiences with other children at local playgroups and schools. The childminder fosters children's physical skills very well and provides opportunities for children to learn where food comes from. For example, children grow their own fruit and vegetables in the garden to use in snacks and meals. The childminder occasionally misses opportunities to promote children's understanding of healthy food choices further as they eat or take part in cooking activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children are motivated and eager to learn. All children, including the youngest and those who are learning more than one language, are competent in communicating. All children have excellent self-care skills. For example, they are capable of putting on their own coats and competently use different cutlery to eat their meals.
