p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is highly skilled at providing children with challenging, but achievable, activities that continually help progress their learning. Children make rapid progress as they engage in activities that appeal to them and match their development needs. For instance, she arranged an event for children to experience and learn about reptiles. The childminder sensitively and skilfully interacts with play to extend children's knowledge and skills. She makes excellent use, for example, of descriptive language to develop children's communication and language skills. Children have easy access to an extensive variety of resources that significantly help promote their learning. The childminder has highly interesting plans to extend her excellent range further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children feel exceptionally safe and secure with the childminder. The childminder's procedures are highly successful as she settles children into her care and helps them settle at other settings. She provides exceptional levels of praise for children and they have excellent self-esteem. Children demonstrate high levels of control for their age, for example, as they patiently wait their turn to use the rocking horse. Very young children have an excellent familiarity with hygiene routines; for example, they confidently wash their hands after a nappy change.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Young children have a strong motivation to learn as they actively engage in activities. For example, they actively join in with singing and enjoy using props to match the song, such as counting with toys. They reinforce their physical skills effectively, for example, as they confidently climb on the rockers.
