Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is extremely knowledgeable about her responsibilities and the procedures she must follow in the event of a concern about a child in her care. Outcomes for children and their families are highly successful. Following recommendations raised at her last inspection, the childminder has hugely developed and re-organised the outdoor play environment. In addition, children have greater opportunities to learn about others in the wider world. Parents overwhelmingly share strong, positive views about the whole service. They comment on the extensive progress their children make, including how happy they are with the range of learning opportunities provided by the childminder.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are keen to learn and readily engage in the fun and highly motivating experiences that are on offer. The childminder is highly successful in following the children's interests and introducing them to new experiences. Children's language and communication skills and knowledge of the world around them are strong. They thoroughly relish opportunities to explore music and rhyme with the childminder. For example, children use well-designed props to select rhymes of their choice. The childminder is extremely vigilant in monitoring children's engagement in activities. She intervenes at appropriate times to support children's learning, although she misses opportunities at times to evoke further children's thoughts, such as their recollection of previous activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The relationships between the childminder and children are warm and caring. The childminder has a very sensitive approach towards the children's care. Children behave very well. The childminder manages children's care routines extremely well, helping them increasingly to see to their own personal care. Children relish the responsibilities they are given, for example, as they make their own sandwiches. The childminder provides nutritional foods and children learn to develop good eating habits. For example, they enjoy selecting and cutting up their own snacks of fruit and vegetables. Children freely select where they would like to play, and the childminder organises fun trips, such as in the local community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are making extremely strong progress in all areas of their development in relation to their starting points. Children develop outstanding skills for their future learning and in readiness for their move on to school. They regularly lead their own learning and demonstrate strong skills in perseverance and attention to tasks.
