p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder displays an admirable attitude towards her role and responsibilities. She is completely dedicated towards her provision of care and how she can constantly strive to improve on the outcomes for children. For instance, she is prioritising further development of the already excellent learning opportunities that children have outdoors to help them make significant progress in all areas of their learning. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder displays an exceptional understanding on how to identify potential areas and signs of abuse and of the reporting procedures she would use to protect a child's welfare. Children's safety is of the utmost importance and the use of risk assessment is robust and used extremely well to minimise harm in all environments. The childminder has been driven in implementing the recommendation from her last inspection. For example, children have an abundance of opportunities to explore with their senses and use many

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has first-rate partnerships with other professionals to share information to help children excel in their future learning. She is meticulous in how she plans to help children gain an early awareness of mathematics and to evolve their small-muscle skills. For instance, children count as they expertly use the tweezers to move the coloured pompoms to the various sized containers. The childminder helps children to become enthusiastic and enthralled in their learning. For example, during music time, they show an increased understanding of listening intently to instructions and copying actions as they dance to their favourite songs. The childminder helps children develop a genuine love of books and increase their communication skills. For instance, they become immersed in stories as they use the finger puppets to re-enact scenes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceptionally well. They display a mature understanding of respecting others and patiently wait for their turn when playing and sharing toys. The childminder has a meaningful approach towards helping children to learn about diversity in the world around them. She helps children to gain an early understanding of the differences and similarities in themselves and others. For example, children play with an array of thought- provoking resources that reflect unfamiliar cultures, religions and disabilities. They go on many outings to investigate and absorb the essence of their immediate community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make extremely good progress from their starting points. They eagerly fully engage in their learning and build on their thinking skills and questioning. For instance, as they mix sand and foam together, they enter into meaningful and rich conversations as they discuss the various textures. Children are very independent and show a shrewd understanding and determination in completing tasks by themselves. They are developing a strong set of skills that they require for the next stage in their learning.
