She understands how to identify and report a concern about a child or an allegation against herself. The childminder maintains her professional development to continue to enhance the superb range of learning experiences she provides for children. She has forged valuable links with other early years professionals with whom she shares ideas and outstanding practice. This is one of the ways in which the childminder evaluates her provision and develops her excellent teaching skills to benefit children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder guides and supports children's learning exceptionally well. She expertly develops their language and thinking skills during children's play. The childminder asks children if they think the long cardboard tube is at the right angle so the toy cars will roll down inside it. Children test this using different sized cars and objects. The childminder stimulates children's thinking when a car gets stuck and children work out why this has happened. The childminder encourages children to persevere with various solutions and they solve the problem. The childminder recognises the value of devising even more outdoor opportunities to further children's interest in the natural world.

They gain high levels of confidence and self-esteem. The childminder sets clear boundaries and models kind, calm, respectful ways, that children copy.

The childminder prepares them well for what to expect and maintains close contact with children's teachers to provide consistency in children's learning.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children develop excellent social skills and learn to be considerate towards each other. They learn to wait patiently for their turn in a card game and to give other children time to choose a card. Children develop extremely good early literacy and mathematical skills through exciting, well-planned routines and activities. They thread cereal hoops onto dry spaghetti with great care and concentration to increase their coordination and small- muscle skills. Children actively gain the skills they need in readiness for school. Children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stages in their learning.
