Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of safeguarding procedures and reporting child protection issues. Since the last inspection, the childminder has become very skilled at evaluating the quality of her setting, to significantly improve experiences for children. For example, She has enabled children to follow their creative interests extremely well. Children can now design, explore and make things with a very wide variety of inspirational resources. The childminder also plans to help children learn even more about healthy foods and where they come from, to enhance what they already know. The childminder has built highly effective relationships with other settings and ensures that children are exceptionally well prepared for their move to school. She is ambitious and dedicated, and continually improves her setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder enables children to have many opportunities to develop their play and follow their own ideas. For example, children decide to play skittles and the childminder supports their ideas and encourages their interest in recording numbers. The childminder is excellent at providing children with interesting experiences that motivate them to learn. For example, children play a jumping game, record the distances they jump and use many different ways to measure their results. Children continually enjoy positive challenges as they play. For example, they build a wooden raft and pretend to be pirates. They use rope to tie the raft together and use their early reading and writing skills to design and make a flag.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is excellent. They play and cooperate together extremely well, and respect one another as they solve problems in their play in a highly content and settled way. Children enjoy constant access to the garden and activities outdoors that challenge and excite them. The childminder encourages children to enjoy plenty of exercise and constantly promotes their emotional development. For example, she provides children with lots of challenges while they play and continually praises them and supports their successes. Her extremely caring relationships with the children, significantly promote their confidence and emotional well-being, so that they are eager to learn and develop.
