p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a thorough knowledge of child protection issues to safeguard children. She knows how to report any concerns she has regarding children's welfare. She keeps herself abreast of new legislation and implements her knowledge of any changes promptly. The childminder closely monitors children's progress and is highly aware of their learning needs. She develops strong relationships with other early years providers that children attend, and works closely with parents, promptly sharing children's progress. The childminder seeks to strengthen her excellent practice and continuously evaluates the provision, to support children to make rapid progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder skilfully uses her excellent knowledge to support children's development. She sharply tailors and plans for children's individual learning, such as through information that she gains from her accurate and detailed observations. The childminder sensitively places resources at a suitable level, so all children can easily access them. She provides an exemplary range of activities for children to choose, to broaden their learning experiences. For example, young learn about nature while they enjoy feeding birds and planting. Children experience a wealth of activities to extend their creative and imaginative skills, and the childminder extends children's communication and language skills continuously. For example, while children explore with spaghetti, she skilfully asks questions to encourage them to talk about the different textures, and to predict what will happen if they add other items.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children benefit from the childminder's calm and caring approach, and their behaviour is excellent. They learn the difference between right and wrong, and show respect towards one another. For example, they learn to share resources and take care of each other, while developing high levels of empathy. For example, children ask others if they are all right when playing outside. Children are learning to be resilient and are highly confident. Their physical development continues to flourish, although some opportunities to strengthen younger children's balance and coordination skills are still ongoing. Children learn how to manage appropriate risks, and they develop a strong understanding of how to stay safe and maintain their good health. For example, they learn to attend to their personal care needs, such as feeding themselves, brushing their teeth and hand washing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are gaining strong skills for the next stages of their learning, including their eventual move to school. For example, they show great enthusiasm and concentration to explore their environment. They listen very carefully and are strong communicators.
