p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow to help keep children safe. She meticulously monitors children's progress and swiftly addresses any gaps in learning through well-planned and timely support. She takes the lead in sharing information about the children's development with professionals at other settings children attend and has extremely effective partnerships with them, which help children to make excellent progress. Parents' views are central to her improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has very high expectations of what each child can achieve and supports them extremely well. For example, she sharply focuses her questions and commentary to help children to solve problems and test new theories for themselves. She skilfully provides time for them to think and answer questions before praising their efforts. The childminder helps children count, for example, as they add handfuls of rice to egg boxes. Children create their own games and the childminder readily engages with their ideas. For example, when children hide items in an egg box, she encourages their language skills by asking, 'What is in the box?' and helps them to name the hidden objects. The childminder provides immensely rewarding learning experiences but on occasion does not remind children to look after their environment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is extremely attentive to meeting each child's needs and helps them to settle very well. She provides excellent opportunities to teach children about healthy lifestyles. For example, children who are reluctant eaters explore food through sensory play and soon become hearty eaters. The childminder skilfully helps them to learn about the natural environment. For example, children relish the opportunity to explore the changing textures of natural materials, as they pour and mix them together in the garden. The childminder helps children understand their place in the community. For instance, she provides a wide range of rich learning opportunities outside the home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make rapid progress from their starting points and learn excellent skills that prepare them for school. They try very hard and become deeply involved in their learning. For example, children scoop coloured rice and marvel at the noise it makes as it runs through cardboard tubes. They take off their socks and wiggle their toes in puffed rice cereal, eagerly exploring the crunchy texture. Children confidently contribute to decision making. Their behaviour is excellent. They are resilient and independent learners who often resolve problems for themselves with their 'can do' attitude.
