Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent awareness of possible child protection issues and is fully aware of the current processes to follow if she has a concern about a child. Professional development is very important to the childminder. She makes excellent use of the internet and her professional network to refresh and update her extremely good knowledge. She plans to extend her knowledge even further by enrolling on an early years degree course. The childminder seeks the views of children and parents to help her to enhance her already excellent practice and improve the outcomes for them even further. For example, following discussions with children she has created a 'magic fairy land' in her garden to provide even more inspiring play experiences for children who prefer to learn outside.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The conscientious and professional childminder has a superb understanding of what inspires individual children to explore, experiment and learn. The childminder is a superb role model who listens to children and uses excellent teaching methods to promote their language and communication skills. The childminder instinctively seeks to constantly challenge and extend children's abilities. She skilfully turns every opportunity, including planned and spontaneous activities, into high-quality learning experiences that enthral and engage children for long periods of time. She asks questions that require children to listen, solve problems and draw on their prior knowledge and experiences. The childminder takes children on frequent outings within the local community. They attend childminding groups and visit the local library and parks. This has a significant impact on the development of children who prefer to learn outdoors.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder meets the individual needs of children superbly. Children form very strong attachments to the nurturing childminder and show that they feel incredibly happy, safe and secure in her care. Children exude confidence and are incredibly independent. The childminder encourages them to tackle small tasks, such as organising their own lunches and setting up activities. They show exceptional respect and consideration to others. They develop an excellent understanding of healthy lifestyles. Children learn to manage risk. They make independent decisions about when they need to tidy away the toys to keep the floor space clear of hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children thrive in this inspirational and inclusive environment. They demonstrate superb levels of confidence in directing their own learning. Children take pride in sharing their knowledge and achievements with others. For example, they are keen to explain how they made their fish tank from different art and craft resources. Children develop an excellent awareness of diversity in people. All children make exceptional progress and they are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of learning, including school.
