p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder and her team have an excellent knowledge of child protection. Children's welfare is central to everything that they do. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is excellent at teaching the children how to stay safe, such as through crossing roads. The childminder checks children's individual progress vigorously. This helps them to make excellent progress in all areas of learning and development. She knows exactly what each child has achieved and what they need to learn next. The childminder recognises that there is scope to extend this even further to take account of all the different groups of children who attend the setting. The childminder and her assistants meticulously complete daily sheets and message apps for parents. They use these very well to inform parents of their children's activities, meals and sleep patterns. This enables parents to be fully involved in their children's learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is highly skilled in letting children lead their own play. She gets involved in the learning and extends them very well, through introducing new vocabulary and giving them new ideas that spark their interests. The childminder is a very strong teacher of personal, social and emotional development and takes every opportunity to encourage children to become aware of their own feelings and accept the needs of others. This helps children be exceptionally able to independently take turns and share and they show very high levels of respect for one another. The childminder demonstrates high expectations of what children can learn. She helps children make links between the letters of their name and letters they can see on road signs. Young children observe with curiosity and copy words that are modelled excellently by the childminder, demonstrating their developing listening and attention, communication and social skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder and other adults in the team are excellent role models and encourage high standards of behaviour. This helps children develop an excellent understanding of working together and being respectful. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Children are extremely well supported in being independent and demonstrate that they are willing to do things for themselves before asking for help. The children have freedom to develop their natural curiosity and explore their surroundings when on outings. The childminder builds strong and trusting bonds with children from the very start and they actively seek her out for comfort and support. Children are actively encouraged to lead an active lifestyle. For example, they access outdoors every day, in all weathers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children have an extremely positive attitude to learning. They are enthusiastic and motivated learners who enjoy exploring. For example, children have limitless opportunities to explore autumn leaves to build on their interest in the outdoors. Children thrive and demonstrate considerable high levels of self-confidence and self- esteem as they explore the vibrant homely environments. Children form excellent friendships and play cooperatively together. All children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage in learning and eventual move on to school.
