p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is highly dedicated to enhancing her teaching practice and outcomes for children. She constantly researches to update her skills, such as webinars that benefit children. The childminder is extremely flexible. She successfully adapts planned activities to evoke children's curiosity and provide challenge, and gives them time to investigate how things work. The childminder monitors children's progress extremely well. She very quickly identifies and narrows any emerging gaps in children's learning. The childminder has a robust understanding of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. She is confident to speak to parents or follow her child protection procedures to report any concerns. The childminder diligently keeps her knowledge up to date to help ensure children grow up healthy and safe. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder's background in teaching is used to outstanding effect. She uses her considerable understanding of child development to teach children new skills and consolidate their learning. The childminder immerses children in language. She gives them time to listen and speak, and helps them to learn a vast vocabulary. The childminder captivates children's interest in books and they take great delight in performing the stories. For example, they anticipate what happens next, tip water on the ground to create a river and jump in the puddle exclaiming, 'Splish splosh!' The childminder recognises older children will benefit from a wider variety of experiences to encourage writing for a purpose. The childminder is very versatile and quickly finds children magnifying glasses when they find a bumblebee. She encourages them to look at it closely and asks thought- provoking questions that extend their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is highly active in extending children's understanding of people that help in the community. She makes comments to provoke thinking. For example, when children hear a siren, the childminder asks, 'Who uses a siren in an emergency?' The childminder uses her excellent skills to teach children tolerance and respect for each other. Children learn to vote, engage in the process excitedly and readily accept the outcome. The childminder instils strong independence. For example, children confidently learn to operate simple equipment, such as using a key fob to lock the car.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children, including those learning English as an additional language, acquire extensive skills in preparation for school. They are extremely independent, curious and motivated to learn. Children learn a wealth of language and understand how to use new vocabulary in context. For example, older children deliberately push a train over, to experiment using a new word, 'derail', and take it to the 'depot' for repair. Younger children are very creative. They use bricks to create objects, such as a castle, and learn to identify colours, put in sequence and count. Children's behaviour is exemplary.
