This provision is outstanding

Parents are kept extremely well informed about their child's development.  Children form genuine, heart-warming relationships with the childminder.  The childminder takes children on an abundance of outings in the local community.

 The inspector looked at the areas of the premises that are used for childminding, including the outdoor area.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector discussed self-evaluation and checked evidence of the childminder's suitability, qualifications, training certificates, risk assessments and looked at a sample of her policies and procedures.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection and took account of their views. She also took account of the views of parents from written feedback they had provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The well-qualified childminder is extremely confident in the procedures to report concerns about the welfare of children. She has installed an application on her mobile telephone. This ensures that she has very swift access at all times to contact details for the relevant agencies for child protection. The childminder constantly reviews her outstanding practice. She has formed strong connections with other childminders and providers and shares ideas. The childminder seeks the views of parents and children very regularly to help drive forward change and to promote excellent outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder provides an extremely stimulating and encouraging environment for children. She involves children in innovative activities from start to finish. For example, children learn about scientific concepts, such as freezing and thawing. Children add food colouring to water in painting palettes. They discover with sheer excitement how the water changes to ice when left in the freezer overnight. Children thoroughly enjoy using the frozen coloured ice blocks to make marks on paper. Boys practise their early writing skills, use their vivid imaginations and create a treasure map. They exclaim that they have formed an 'X' to mark the spot. Children learn that their warm hands cause the ice to melt. The childminder uses exceptional questioning techniques that wholly engage and motivate children to learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder provides an extensive range of activities for children outdoors. She has recently updated her knowledge and understanding of how boys learn. The childminder has done this through in-depth reading of online articles and magazines. This has equipped her with a greater understanding of how to extend and challenge boys' learning during play outdoors. She is keen to continue to evaluate the impact this has on the learning outcomes for boys. The childminder involves children fully in tasks, such as making sandwiches for lunch. She teaches children exceptionally well about the importance of eating healthily, being active and leading a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly confident, behave extremely well and use impeccable manners. They develop excellent self-care skills. For example, younger children take off their aprons after painting. Children develop superb mathematical skills. For instance, they name shapes, such as triangle and rectangle with great aptitude. Boys know that if they cut up a banana, then one portion is a half. All children, including those who are funded, are remarkably well prepared for their future learning and school.
