They meet regularly to review the quality of their teaching and of the experiences they provide for children, to assess the impact on children's learning. The childminder and her assistant continually apply expertise gained from their experience and training to their daily practice. For example, they use a range of different strategies to help children manage their emotions. This has a highly positive impact on children's well- being. The childminder has excellent relationships with other early years settings that children attend, and this offers a very high level of consistency in their learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder and her assistant have excellent systems for monitoring children's progress. They quickly identify children who require additional help and work with other professionals to swiftly put in place extra support. Children show their eagerness to solve problems as they explore and investigate. For example, they showed high levels of concentration as they worked out the tools they needed to clear the tyres of their toy vehicles, which were wedged in oats. The childminder works meticulously with parents to meet children's next steps in learning. She is very keen to develop this even further with additional activities for children to continue at home. The childminder consistently adapts activities to reflect children's individual learning needs. She uses outstanding teaching to support children to acquire the skills needed for the next stage of their development.
