Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder updates her safeguarding training regularly and understands what action to take should she have concerns about a child. The childminder has a highly effective system for evaluating her provision. She monitors different aspects of her work, such as children's progress and the quality of the learning environment. She also asks for comments from parents and other professionals to create a fully rounded picture of her setting and sets clear targets to improve. The childminder attends training and carries out her own research as part of her ongoing professional development. She maximises the impact this has on her work by sharing her knowledge with parents to develop and enhance the shared understanding of how children learn.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder works extremely closely with parents at every stage of the children's attendance. She gathers information about children's current abilities and interests when they first start with her and makes close observation of children's early achievements. The childminder regularly reviews children's progress in each aspect of their development and discusses this with parents to identify next steps in learning. She is a highly skilled teacher and uses her expertise to fully promote children's thinking skills. The childminder closely analyses children's play to see how they are learning, and builds on their knowledge and skills immediately. The childminder involves children in designing their activities and following their own ideas. However, in some literacy activities she does not stretch children's imagination as far as she could.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

For example, they eat healthy foods from around the world and understand how it helps them to grow. Children thrive, relishing the enticing opportunities to enjoy physical play and exercise. They become highly skilled at managing their personal hygiene with the childminder's excellent support. The childminder is a superb role model. Children treat each other with great respect and are very cooperative in play, working on shared tasks and taking turns with increasing maturity.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly independent and very confident to explore and use a wide variety of exemplary resources. They are extremely well-motivated to play and learn. Children make excellent progress in all aspects of their learning. All children achieve well within the typical range of development for their stage, and most have mature skills beyond their years.
