p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder thoughtfully and purposefully organises the environment to stimulate the children's interest. She uses self evaluation extremely well, including the views of the parents. She has accessed and enjoyed a very wide range of training courses to continually support her professional development and recognises a need to evaluate more precisely how this impacts on children's progress and development. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of potential child protection concerns and is extremely confident about the procedures to follow if she is worried about a child's welfare. The childminder works with other agencies, such as the children's centre, to provide extra support to the children in her care. The childminder promotes the values of respect and tolerance and being a kind person throughout her excellent practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Teaching is of a high quality and the childminder has a deep understanding and knowledge of how children learn. She plans activities to support individual learning, for example, while reading 'The Hungry Caterpillar' story, she uses props alongside the story to gain continued attention. For instance, one child was able to practise their newly acquired turn-taking skills while another learnt new vocabulary during the same activity. Children are extremely engaged, and their learning is constantly extended. Outside, there are an extensive range of complimentary activities. Children show they enjoy and make good use of this excellent provision. Highly effective teaching strategies are embedded in the everyday provision. Mathematical language and counting is heard in natural conversation and letter sounds were initiated by a child and more sounds were added as the childminder followed the child's lead in her interest of phonics. The

childminder has high expectations of what each child can achieve.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The children's behaviour is exemplary and they show each other care and kindness. They have made close attachments to the childminder and to each other. When children require nappy changes, the childminder expertly takes the opportunity to support further learning during this time, for example, she responds warmly to their questions about being a baby. Excellent strategies to encourage good and positive behaviour are used. Children have an excellent variety of toys available to them and independently choose for themselves. The children show well developed and practised self-care skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make high levels of progress from their starting points and are excellently prepared for their next stage of learning. They show high levels of motivation and are eager to join each other in play. The childminder demonstrates her outstanding skill by joining their play and modelling excellent sharing and language. The superbly well- resourced garden provides excellently for all areas of development, especially for physical development, and the childminder compliments this with many and regular outings to local places of interest. Children show exceptional early literacy skills and a clear enjoyment of activities that promote literacy.
