Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has very good understanding and relevant knowledge of child protection procedures and the action she would take if concerned about a child's welfare. She updates her knowledge to constantly improve her practice and she shares professional expertise with other childminders. The childminder attends training, for example she has completed a workshop on children's communication and language. The parents are extremely happy with the excellent system the childminder has put in place to support children's progression in all areas of learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder skilfully supports children in their play. For example, she uses mathematical language in play as she helps the children to count ice cubes into cups as they independently pour their own drinks. She also teaches them colours while comparing toy car tracks in the painting area. The childminder plans extremely well-thought-out activities, including outings that she knows will excite young children. For example, she takes the children to local groups where they can learn about science and maths, and to large open spaces where they can run and be physical. The childminder maintains exemplary records of children's progress. For example, she has set up her own innovative system of observations, assessment and planning, and uses published guidance to help her plot their progress. This helps her to precisely plan for children's future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are very kind to each other, for example they welcome each other into the setting and share toys together They seek out the childminder for support. Children choose what they want to do from a vast range of exciting resources on offer. The childminder is now considering how to further develop children's awareness of healthy eating. Children learn to stay safe, such as when they are out and about near roads. For example, they listen extremely well and follow instructions from the childminder. She has comprehensive risk assessments in place for indoors, outdoors and outings. She also has excellent understanding that risk assessing is an ongoing process. This helps enable her to keep children safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children develop excellent skills to help prepare them for their next stage in learning and for the move on to school. They develop very good early reading skills, for example as they look at maps of the world and pick out names of places they have visited. Children are happy and confident, communicate well and are really motivated to learn.
