extend their vocabulary, such as 'spiral' and 'traffic'.  Children are extremely happy and settled and build excellent relationships with the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The enthusiastic childminder is highly motivated and reflects exceptionally well on her practice. She has fully met the previous recommendations, for example, she extends children's learning extremely well and training has helped her provide extra support to those children who need it. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is fully up to date with new procedures and is aware of her responsibility to prevent children from being drawn into situations that may put them at risk of harm. She knows the process to follow if she has concerns for a child's welfare. The childminder shares new information with parents, such as the safe use of the internet, to help them protect their children at home. She builds exemplary relationships with other settings that children attend, and is proactive about sharing new ideas with other childminders and early years staff.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder uses every opportunity, such as daily trips, to extend children's learning. For example, at the park children eagerly recall how they learnt that the falling leaves are 'sleeping' as it is the autumn. The childminder plans excellent activities to help children's literacy. For example, children excitedly join in writing and posting their Christmas lists in a pop-up 'grotto'. Children are eager to extend their play, for example, they ask the childminder to be Santa and she joins in and reads their letters. However, on occasion, she does not consistently provide thought-provoking questions to help extend children's thinking skills. Children gain an excellent knowledge of the world. For example, they learn words in other languages, talk about advent candles and explore foreign money.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder encourages healthy lifestyles extremely well. For example, children confidently use their named towels and flannels to manage their hygiene, and they brush their teeth after meals. They understand that milk is good for their teeth and know why they should not eat too much sugar. Children enjoy eating extremely nutritious meals and snacks. Children are very active. For example, they enjoy trips to the park and build on their balancing and climbing skills. The childminder uses this time extremely well to help them learn about risk, such as teaching them how to go backwards down a ladder safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely settled. For example, they confidently hang up their coats on their named pegs and have excellent communication skills. For instance, they use detailed language to recall previous events and to talk about their homes and families. Children use pencils correctly and are beginning to learn to form letters. They develop excellent mathematical skills. For example, children confidently count to nine and recognise different numerals. They are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning.
