Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of how children learn. She uses children's individual interests exceptionally well to continually expand and develop the learning opportunities she provides them. The childminder plans an exciting range of activities to meet children's individual needs and provide them with excellent challenge. For example, during a picnic role-play activity she encouraged children to learn about healthy and unhealthy food. Children eagerly placed play food into categories and talked with increasing interest in the properties of the foods. Children also learned about quantities and numbers as they counted the fruit and talked about more and less.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's safety, health, welfare and well-being are significantly enhanced by the highly consistent implementation of excellent policies, procedures and practice. The childminder is sensitive to the children's individual needs and children form extremely secure emotional attachments with her and her assistant. The childminder successfully enables children to learn about gender and cultural differences. For example, the setting is rich in multicultural text, posters, maps, role-play props and small figures showing people in their national costumes and of differing abilities. Children receive excellent encouragement to learn about safety and hygiene. For example, they know to hold on for stability when using the stairs and independently wash their hands before and after eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent progress in their communication, language and mathematical skills in readiness for their next stage in learning, and move to school. Children are extremely confident, sociable and settled. They delight in dressing up, dancing, singing and making up their own stories.
