p.1

This provision is outstanding

 The childminder's professional development plans are highly focused. He specifically accesses training that enhances his already first-rate teaching skills and that benefits children in his care. For example, children's interests encouraged the childminder to train to teach sign language which improves all children's communication and language.  The childminder has worked tirelessly since his last inspection and has been successful in raising the quality of practice to an outstanding level. He is passionate, highly reflective and has the highest expectations of the service he offers.  Children are offered exceptional opportunities to learn about diversity, cultures and the wider world. For example, they visit a range of places of worship. They go to supermarkets to buy ingredients from around the world to help to make meals.  The childminder has a very comprehensive understanding of how young children learn.

This provision is outstanding

He is meticulous in monitoring their progress. He plans exciting activities that are matched precisely to children's learning needs and that challenge and motivate them to learn. This contributes to the rapid progress that children consistently make.  Children's emotional well-being is expertly promoted by the caring and responsive childminder, and children flourish in his care. Care routines are matched precisely to those at home. Children are remarkably confident, settled and display high levels of self-esteem and self-worth.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder's understanding of how to identify any potential indicators of abuse is excellent. He is very knowledgeable about local reporting procedures. He is extremely astute and committed to keeping children safe. For example, he is methodical in how he completes risk assessments of his home and before going on outings. He considers every possible eventuality and puts measures in place to help minimise the risk. The childminder has very high expectations of children's outcomes. Although his promotion of communication and language is already exceptional, he has recently started a training programme which is aimed at identifying and early intervention of speech and language delays. This will help him to continue to offer high levels of support for children to continue to make excellent progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder's strong knowledge of children's abilities enables him to skilfully adapt his teaching and challenge each child perfectly. All children listen and watch with interest as the childminder shows them how to use sign language, alongside key words. Children join in and remember signs from previous sessions. Older children are confident to introduce their own ideas and bring the childminder puppets. The childminder uses the opportunity to embark on a song and rhyme sessions. Toddlers confidently join in with singing and actions. They hold up the correct amount of fingers during number rhymes. This supports their understanding of number. Water play is a favourite activity. The childminder challenges their mathematical thinking. Toddlers concentrate as they look at numbers on the jug. They already use mathematical language, such as 'full' and 'half'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder provides a highly stimulating and challenging environment. For example, outdoors children access various climbing apparatus and an area has been transformed into an inviting imaginary play base for children. Children squeal with delight as they run into the garden and they engage in meaningful play for extended periods of time. The childminder places a great emphasis on developing children's independence. For example, toddlers persevere and succeed at putting their own shoes on and older children are highly independent in self-care. The childminder is an excellent role model who values children's contributions and efforts. Children's behaviour is exceptional. Children show high levels of respect, empathy and are kind and considerate towards each other.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make rapid progress in all areas of learning. Their communication and language skills are exceptional for their age. Older children engage in conversation with adults and talk about previous events. All children's levels of engagement and motivation to learn are superb. They concentrate and persevere extremely well. They are excellently prepared for their next stage in learning and for starting school. They show a real desire to learn, they listen to adults and accept challenges with enthusiasm.
