Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is highly dedicated to strengthening her skills. She completes training to enrich her knowledge and to provide the best possible learning experiences for children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an impressive understanding of how to identify and report concerns about children's welfare. Her home is warm, inviting and clean. She carries out ongoing risk assessments to make sure that the resources and areas she uses are safe and remain suitable for children. The childminder provides highly effective opportunities for children to learn how to keep themselves safe from harm. Children enjoy taking part in emergency evacuation procedures. They learn how to cross the road safely and about the importance of not talking to strangers. As children play, the childminder talks to them about how to stay healthy. For instance, they discuss the importance of wearing sun cream and the benefits of vitamins.

The childminder is highly skilful in providing challenging learning opportunities for children. She plans exciting activities based on her knowledge of children's interests and their capabilities. The childminder asks children suitable questions to help them to develop their thinking skills even further. Children enjoy learning about different types of people and cultures. However, at times the childminder misses some opportunities to extend children's interest in the natural environment. She provides excellent chances for children to socialise with others.
