Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent knowledge of child protection and is always extremely vigilant in keeping children safe.

The childminder uses highly effective self-evaluation strategies to allow her to evolve and develop her practice constantly and she has plans to strengthen her already excellent teaching further. The childminder has built superb partnerships with parents, involving them in all areas of their child's learning and development. She regularly incorporates areas that parents are focusing on at home.

for all children. These highly effective partnerships lead to an incredibly strong provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder provides extremely carefully thought-out and interesting resources and activities for the children. She precisely plans these around children's individual needs and interests. For example, she explained that one of the children was about to have a baby brother or sister and she was using the baby dolls regularly so that the child could practise taking care of them. This was a responsibility children were taking very seriously. The childminder consistently uses her excellent teaching skills to reinforce children's learning and to move them on to the next stages in their development. For example, during a play dough activity, she used this as an opportunity to talk about the different colours and shapes children could see and create. The childminder plans activities children are interested in and provides a highly stimulating environment. Children are highly motivated and enthusiastic to learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are incredibly happy, calm and secure, and their behaviour is excellent. The childminder is extremely caring and respectful towards the children, providing them with an environment where they can discover and explore in their own individual ways. For example, real food such as pasta and rice is available for the children to use in ways of their own choosing. The childminder encourages children to become independent learners. For example, children confidently practise pouring their own drinks from jugs of water and cups the childminder has set out for them.

p.3
