Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an exceptional up-to-date knowledge of possible safeguarding risks to children. She knows how to record and report any concerns regarding children's welfare. The childminder carries out thorough risk assessment to ensure the safety of children at home and during outings. The childminder continually strives to identify new priorities to help enhance her provision. Since registration, she has continually engaged in professional development to maintain very high standards of teaching and excellent outcomes for children. The childminder establishes superb partnership working with parents to ensure that children's needs are highly supported. She is looking at how she can enable parents to share even more information about their children's development that they observe at home to aid their learning even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are extremely confident and curious. Their understanding of the world around them is impressive. For example, young babies gurgle with delight as they pick up natural resources from a treasure basket and discover different textures. Older children know that some trains are powered by electricity and others use steam. Children remind adults that steam is very hot and will burn your skin. The childminder is an expert in building on children's current interests and she adds extra resources to their favourite resource boxes. For example, she adds books about trains into the box containing the train set, to encourage children to extend their love of books and value the subject that interests them. This demonstrates the childminder's excellent abilities in knowing the children extremely well and recognising that children learn in different and unique ways.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is acutely aware of the importance of helping children to feel safe and secure, particularly when they start in the setting. She gathers detailed information right from the start to support children's individual interests, care and development needs. Children's physical development, health and well-being are extremely well developed. They have excellent opportunities to engage in physical play, indoors and outdoors. The childminder provides children with balanced, nutritious meals, snacks and drinks. Children are extremely independent, for example, they confidently help to prepare snacks and set the table.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children positively thrive in this welcoming and nurturing provision, and they make outstanding progress in their learning and development. They form extremely secure bonds with the childminder and settle exceptionally well. Children develop all of the essential skills they need in readiness for school.
