This provision is outstanding

 Children have a wonderful time exploring and leading their own play in the beautifully presented, dedicated setting both indoors and outside. Children are enthusiastic and motivated, eager to explore, and constantly make decisions in their play and learning. They have a vast range of toys and resources to choose from, all carefully displayed to allow children maximum independence.  The childminder is very experienced and she continuously seeks additional knowledge through her attendance at training courses, further childcare qualifications and local authority support. This has an exceptionally positive impact on the learning experiences she provides for children.  Partnerships with parents are superb. They are fully involved in their children's learning and receive a wealth of information that helps them to continue their children's learning at home. Assessment of children's progress is very closely monitored and is precise and

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in how to keep children safe. She understands how to identify and report any concerns about children. The childminder is highly motivated and has identified a need to continue with her professional development to increase the already high quality of children's learning experiences. The childminder includes the views of children and parents in her self-evaluation process and welcomes their ideas and suggestions. The childminder has extremely strong links with local schools and nurseries that children attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The highly qualified and knowledgeable childminder has a superb understanding of child development and how children learn. She completes accurate assessments of children's learning based on regular, high-quality observations. She uses this information to skilfully shape children's learning based on their interests. This greatly supports the excellent progress they all make. Children enjoy stories and listen to the story about the dancing giraffe with wobbly legs. They eagerly participate using the finger puppets and then dance around with the giraffe masks on. This helps to promote their physical development and communication and language as they repeat the story. The childminder is passionate about the benefits of learning outdoors and the children's love of the outside is skilfully nurtured in a variety of ways. Children are extremely excited to put on their waterproofs and make an obstacle course, where younger children learn to balance and take organised

risks. Children discover things as they become immersed in searching for the fossils and bugs in the jelly. The childminder extends the activity superbly asking about the texture and colours the children can see in the jelly.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely happy, independent and sociable. The childminder actively promotes a 'can do' attitude and successfully motivates children to discover and explore for themselves. Children willingly try new experiences and are very proud of their efforts and achievements. They play and learn in a vibrant, stimulating environment. The childminder teaches children about the importance of following effective hygiene procedures and about personal safety. Children learn to attend to their personal care needs. They are emotionally prepared and developing essential physical skills in readiness for their move to school or nursery. Children quickly develop excellent social skills as they are provided with plenty of opportunities to mix with other children and adults.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

The childminder's commitment and excellent knowledge of children she cares for ensure that all children are making exceptional high rates of progress from their starting points. Children develop a passion for learning in this superbly planned and highly inspiring environment. They are extremely well engaged and are challenged to continually extend their skills. Children are emotionally and physically very well prepared for the next stage in their learning and their move on to school.
