p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent knowledge of how to identify concerns about the welfare of a child in her care and the procedures to follow. The childminder has completed relevant training in how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder takes excellent action to keep children safe. She meticulously identifies how to build on her high-quality provision. For example, after training she has developed her knowledge of how to support children in managing their own feelings and behaviour. The childminder uses these techniques effectively to support children who consequently behave exceptionally well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder provides children with inspirational ways to learn about diversity and the city in which they live. Children regularly enjoy travelling by bus and train. They learn about the passing of time and how things change as they visit museums and exhibitions. The childminder works effectively with other professionals, for example, to enhance how children learn about the natural world. Children are fully involved in making decisions in the setting. For example, older children reorganised their resources when younger children joined the setting. They delight in sharing their knowledge and directing their own learning. The childminder is developing ways to support children in how to problem solve even more.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely attentive to the needs of others. For example, they find toys for other children to play with and carefully select their favourites. They have an excellent understanding of how to keep themselves, and others, safe. For example, they talk confidently about how younger children cannot go out to the garden alone and need to be supervised. Children understand the different stages of their own development and that of other children. For example, they excitedly choose books to show that babies sit and crawl and that they can run and walk. The childminder expertly nurtures children's physical well-being. Children confidently use the language of feelings, for instance, proudly saying that they 'are brave'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are highly motivated, confident and extremely excited by their own learning. They spontaneously use mathematical language as they build towers which are 'bigger' and 'taller'. They use their increasing vocabulary to describe the 'antennae' they put on the snails they make out of play dough. Children, even from a young age, learn important skills for the next stage of their learning. For example, they eagerly communicate their needs and are delighted to try things for themselves.
