Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an exceptional understanding of her role. She implements very carefully considered risk assessments to promote children's safety and well-being effectively. The childminder is highly reflective about her practice and includes the views of others in her evaluations. She updates her extremely good knowledge and teaching practices regularly, for example, by attending childcare forums and from her research online. The childminder speaks regularly with parents about their children's progress and incorporates children's home learning into her planning. Parents are extremely happy with the rapid progress their children are making.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is extremely knowledgeable. She supports and extends children's learning exceptionally well. For example, the childminder engages children in successful conversations, encouraging children's thinking and problem-solving skills with challenging questions. She is highly skilled at linking activities to children's real-life experiences, such as a visit to a farm. For example, children show delight when they find and name farm animals hidden in the sand play. Children have excellent opportunities to be physically active. For example, they explore and learn to negotiate equipment in the play parks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children have developed very close and trusting relationships with the childminder. This helps children to settle quickly and feel emotionally secure in her care. The childminder works extremely closely with parents and understands the importance of gaining, and continuously sharing, information with them. She recognises how she can gather even more in-depth information from parents to help establish children's starting points even more precisely. Children's behaviour is excellent. The childminder manages children's behaviour in a calm, positive and impressive manner. She helps children to learn about the needs of others as they explore different family backgrounds and share the celebrations, cultures and customs of the children who attend.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are very active, independent learners and develop a wide range of skills needed in readiness for their future learning and for school. Children gain exceptional literacy skills given their young age. For example, they write letters then post them to their home address. Children's mathematical skills are extended very well. For example, the childminder incorporates numbers, counting and shape recognition as children play and learn. Children are confident to explore and investigate and all children make excellent progress given their starting points.
