p.1

The provision is outstanding

n The childminder demonstrates an extremely high level of commitment and a clear vision for her provision. Her reflective and open-minded approach to her own learning and the development of her setting makes her a superb role model for children. She involves parents and children in her evaluation systems so that their views are reflected in her provision and their needs are met to a high degree. n The childminder provides a wealth of highly stimulating and imaginative play activities that excites children and motivates them to learn. She provides ever more challenging tasks to encourage children to test their skills and progress quickly to the next level. As a result, children make rapid progress. n The childminder promotes children's communication and language skills extremely effectively.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of safeguarding procedures and child protection issues. She regularly updates her training in this area. This ensures that she is aware of all types of abuse and knows what to do should she have any concerns. Standards of care, teaching and learning are exceptionally high due to the childminder's meticulous organisation of all aspects of her work. Partnerships with parents are extremely strong. The childminder ensures that she stays in regular communication with parents and they build on her ideas for children's learning at home. In addition, the childminder works extremely closely with other professionals involved in children's care and learning. This ensures continuity of care and learning is enhanced to the highest level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has an exceptional understanding of how children learn. She carefully observes and skilfully interacts with children. The childminder plans activities with the children and gives them time to think and to develop their own ideas. Consequently, children become deeply involved in exciting play and learning activities. For example, when the children decide that they want to make an octopus, the childminder discusses with them what resources they will need and what the octopus will look like. She uses questions to prompt children to discuss their thoughts and ideas, and values children's suggestions with enthusiasm. The childminder knows the children extremely well. She robustly assesses, tracks and monitors children's development to help her identify any gaps in their learning. Strategies are then swiftly put in place to ensure that these gaps close rapidly.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in the childminder's exceptionally homely and welcoming environment that helps children feel safe and secure. Children develop a strong sense of belonging as they follow familiar routines. The childminder has plans to develop systems further to help babies settle even more effectively. One of the ways she intends to do this is by displaying photographs of special people in their lives. She will observe children's responses and evaluate the impact on their progress. The childminder has very high expectations and is an excellent role model for children. She has firmly established routines, which help children use excellent manners and exemplary behaviour. Young children learn to share and take turns through games. Children understand the safety rules for their play and follow excellent standards of hygiene practices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children acquire the skills, knowledge and confidence that prepare them extremely well to start school. They are engaged, motivated and demonstrate excellent concentration skills. Children learn about changes over time as they help to grow a variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs in the garden. They harvest and help to cook their produce, and take home herbs for parents to use in their cooking. Children show excellent interest in books and excitedly take part in their favourite repetitive sections of the text.
