This provision is outstanding

 The childminder continually seeks to add to the excellence of her teaching where possible. She continually reflects on the quality of the learning opportunities she provides for the children and targets areas for improvement very effectively.  Children constantly benefit from the knowledge and skills the childminder gains, such as through training. She uses this highly effectively to consistently enhance her practice and continually improve outcomes for children.  The childminder provides a wide range of inspirational resources and uses these extremely well to provide a rich and varied learning environment for children.  The childminder meticulously monitors the progress children make. She uses this information to enable her to very quickly identify children who may need additional support. She immediately puts in place highly effective plans to support them to close any gaps in learning. Children develop exceptionally well in all areas of learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent knowledge of how to identify concerns about children's welfare and knows how and where to report these. She has an up-to-date knowledge of current legislation and how to identify children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas and views. The childminder is extremely effective at evaluating her practice and does this continually to maintain her high-quality provision. For example, she is developing ways to help parents extend their children's learning at home even further. She meticulously identifies where to build on her skills and knowledge to effectively develop her practice and extend children's learning. For example, after speech and language training she effectively extends children's language development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder uses her excellent knowledge of how young children learn to help her provide high-quality learning experiences. For example, she creates inspirational sensory activities, such as providing nests of velvet material for children to sit in, and encourages them to explore different textures such as driftwood and sea shells. The childminder provides inspirational opportunities for children to experience diversity and the city in which they live. For example, they celebrate different cultural festivals, enjoy boat trips on the river and explore botanical gardens. Children learn how different people help them, for example they visit fire stations and learn about fire safety. Carefully chosen stories and songs build on children's interests and the use of resources, such as props, enriches this further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is an excellent role model and children behave exceptionally well. She is extremely nurturing to the children. She sensitively helps them learn how to care for themselves and others. For example, older children proudly help feed younger children. This creates very strong bonds between children and supports their emotional and social well-being at the highest level. The childminder builds on children's physical well-being exceptionally well. For example, she entices young children to independently manoeuvre around the room to develop their physical skills. Children enjoy taking turns and sharing; spontaneously including others in their games such as by offering resources to help them join in. Children's emotional and physical well-being are expertly nurtured.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress from their starting points. They are extremely excited by their own learning and eagerly share it with others. Children, even from a very young age, learn important skills for the next stage of their learning. For example, they communicate their needs well and are motivated to try things for themselves. Children are extremely confident, select their own resources and engage in their own learning.
