Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding about child protection issues. She confidently demonstrates her procedures for reporting concerns. The childminder is a highly reflective practitioner and regularly seeks the views of parents and others she works alongside. She successfully uses information gained from training to drive ongoing improvements. For example, after attending a recent course to enhance children's early writing skills, the childminder has provided children with an exceptional range of resources and motivates them to build on their existing skills. This successfully helps children to develop their early writing skills. The childminder is fully committed to attending further training and recognises the importance of ongoing professional development. Parents are extremely delighted with the excellent care and learning provided.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder uses her highly accurate assessments of children's development to identify stimulating next steps in learning. These provide consistent challenge for all children. The childminder is particularly skilled in supporting mathematical development. For example, she makes the very best use of every opportunity to encourage children to think about shape, size and quantities. Children count spontaneously along to rhymes and are highly engaged in their chosen play. Furthermore, the childminder expertly supports children's home languages. She regularly includes their home languages in their play. For instance, children are encouraged to count in French when they complete number puzzles. Children are able to focus for long lengths of time and demonstrate their willingness to try new ideas with extreme confidence.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder sets a supreme example to children of how to treat others with respect and kindness. Children's behaviour is exemplary. The childminder's relentless positive influence on children is obvious, as they copy her extremely supportive language. For example, older children are incredibly considerate to their younger peers. They offer to pass their drink at snack time and happily celebrate their achievements. Children thoroughly enjoy the opportunities they have to develop their physical skills, on a variety of quality outdoor experiences in their local community. The childminder embeds excellent routines and teaches children strategies to keep themselves safe. For instance, children use their hands to protect their heads on worktops when putting tissues in the bin. The childminder promotes children's health and well-being exceptionally well. She has identified that she could work with an even wider range of professionals to enhance

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make exceptional progress in their learning from their starting points. They show great determination when solving problems and use their emerging mathematical language as they carefully fit pieces of a jigsaw into place and demonstrate their understanding of sequence of numbers. Children spontaneously sing number songs and use their fingers to count. Children grow in confidence and demonstrate all the necessary skills to help them prepare for school.
