 The inspector conducted a joint observation and a leadership and management meeting with the childminder.  The inspector spoke with children and took the written views of parents into consideration.  The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with children.  The inspector looked at documentation, including children's learning journals.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is highly skilled at continually evaluating children's experiences and she makes targeted and well-considered improvements. For example, she has developed a superb range of resources and innovative reasons for children to count and recognise numbers while they explore the local community. The childminder plans to improve the setting by further developing reasons for children to write and record their ideas. The childminder has built strong and highly effective relationships with other settings to gain a very thorough understanding of children's specific care and learning needs. She works extremely well with her husband, who is also a childminder. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an up-to-date knowledge of child protection issues.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder inspires children to find out more and this helps them to become independent learners and to make excellent progress from their starting points. The childminder is highly skilled at watching children's play and extending their learning. For example, as children explore with pasta and pulses the childminder expertly introduces ideas such as 'full' and 'empty'. She uses the opportunity to help even the youngest children solve number problems. The childminder encourages children to solve practical problems and this helps them experience success. For example, children concentrate and preserve while they fix a toy trailer to a digger. The childminder expertly offers ideas while still giving children the space to learn and grow. Children are proud of their achievements and are confident to try new things without fear of failure.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder expertly tailors every activity to suit the individual needs of each child. Children are exceptionally well behaved, polite and sociable. They have lots of opportunities to be outdoors and benefit from plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. Children operate with independence and confidence. For example, they enthusiastically set the table at lunchtime and use a highly effective system of words and pictures to recognise their belongings. This helps them to develop their early reading skills. Children build firm emotional attachments with the childminder. For example, they are very confident to seek comfort if they are unsure. The childminder is extraordinarily skilled at helping children settle and develop a sense of security.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are exceptionally respectful and kind. They use great communication skills and social skills. For example, they sit beautifully at lunchtime and share jokes with one another while they eat and learn about how to stay fit and healthy. Children are exceedingly well prepared for school and are enthusiastic and confident learners.
