p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of her role and responsibility in keeping children safe, including the procedures for reporting any concerns about children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. Highly effective planning helps to enable the childminder to offer an exceptional range of activities and experiences. Her meticulous self-evaluation process has aided the improvements made since her last inspection. For example, she caters effectively for all of the children's needs on the ground level. The childminder shares her superb range of procedures with parents to ensure that they fully grasp how she works. The childminder actively encourages children's understanding of equality and diversity. For example, children learn as they play about sharing, being respectful and accepting of others.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder expertly extends children's learning by teaching them new words, colours, shapes and counting. The childminder consistently encourages children to play independently, and to share and take turns. She provides children with extensive opportunities to learn about nature, and extend their language skills. For example, children have grown huge sunflowers that they planted from seed. They have nurtured, watered and measured them and are in the process of harvesting the seeds to plant next year. The childminder actively involves children in many daily routines. They choose activities, tidy away and help to prepare snacks and meals. However, the childminder recognises that, very occasionally, children are not as involved in these simple daily routines as they could be.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children gain an excellent awareness of good hygiene practices, such as why they need to wash their hands after stroking the pet cat or after toileting. Children learn the importance of following a healthy diet. They discuss the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables and how they can help you grow 'big and strong.' The childminder provides an extremely healthy menu, for example, children regularly eat raw vegetables and fresh fruits. Children are wonderfully sociable, friendly and caring. The childminder offers excellent support for them to learn to take turns as they play alongside others. Their behaviour is exemplary.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress in their communication, language and mathematical skills, in readiness for their next stage in learning and move to school. Children show huge delight as they play and learn. For example, they clap and cheer as they show great pride and excitement as they finally master the skill of starting to write their name.
