Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder keeps her in-depth knowledge of child protection up to date and has an exceptional understanding of local safeguarding procedures. She makes sure her assistant is clear about her role and responsibilities. Children's safety and well-being are of paramount importance. The childminder robustly checks in all areas of her home and closely supervises children at all times. These help to keep children safe and well. The childminder's self-evaluation is excellent. She ensures the views of all parents and their children are fully included. As part of self-evaluation, the childminder has identified opportunities to enhance children's learning and development even further in the outdoor areas. She recognises this will further encourage children's imaginations and investigation skills to an even higher level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of how children learn through play. For example, as children build bridges with wooden blocks, the childminder skilfully encourages them to recall their investigations into bridges from around the world. Children talk confidently about bridges in China and refer to the posters near them, making excellent connections in their play. The childminder significantly enhances children's thinking, encouraging them to identify which bridge is bigger, wider, built over roads or over water. Her excellent questioning techniques and introduction of new words extends children's vocabulary exceptionally well. The childminder provides a wealth of opportunities for children to learn about nature. For example, children develop high levels of empathy for living things. They visit the safari park to see wild animals and as they look for birds and insects and identify plants on their forest walks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children have excellent opportunities to be physically active. They take manageable risks as they use the garden equipment. They are highly motivated and challenge their skills further through regular visits to parks and soft-play venues. The childminder provides a wealth of healthy options for children to try during snack time and they discuss what foods are good for them. This all helps children to develop a high level of awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children become increasingly self-assured and confidently lead their own learning. Children demonstrate their enjoyment of books and stories about their favourite characters very well. For example, they become highly excited as they read about the little pigs, count them, draw pictures of them and make further connections as they weigh out ingredients to make pig-shaped biscuits. Children develop their imaginations exceptionally well. For example, they become highly engrossed as they collect leaves, twigs and stones and mix in soil to make their concoctions and potions in the mud kitchen.
