Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of safeguarding procedures and child protection issues. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is extremely skilled at evaluating the quality of her setting and this helps to significantly improve children's experiences. For example, she has developed a set of resources that children use with great interest to engage in craft activities, such as crochet, knitting and sewing. The childminder plans to improve her setting further by introducing a fairy garden and mud kitchen outside. Children are very well prepared and ready for their move to school. The childminder has built highly effective and very strong relationships with other settings and proffessionals.This helps children experience great continuity.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children practise new skills and consolidate their learning. For example, children master using scissors and tape as they build elaborate models and make homes for their toys. The childminder is excellent at maximising on learning experiences. Children make plans of their designs and the childminder expertly introduces reasons for children to write and solve number problems. The childminder provides a range of opportunities that really motivate children to take part and learn. For example, children play theatres, they dress up, make stage props and tickets for the show before using musical instruments and acting out fantastical stories. Children are challenged by their play; they solve problems, make links in their understanding and experience lots of success. Children make excellent progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are settled, extremely happy and engaged. For example, they helped each other make a home for a sloth; they made a swinging telescope together and worked out how to make a hinge. Children spend lots of time outdoors and get plenty of exercise and sunshine. The childminder has built great relationships with children that support their emotional well-being while encouraging their independence. This gives children an excellent platform from which to develop and grow.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are capable and believe they can achieve. For example, the childminder helps children work out how many days they have been alive and children relish the opportunity to play with big numbers. Children make exciting discoveries and decisions. They are independent and self-assured, and treat each other in a very kind and respectful way.
