Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a very secure knowledge of the possible signs of concern about a child and is confident about the procedures to follow. She has an exemplary awareness of how to keep children safe and carries out thorough checks on all areas of her home. She demonstrates a very strong passion for her work and the organisation of the childminder's service is excellent. The childminder successfully closes any emerging gaps in children's learning and shares this information with parents and staff at other early years settings that children attend. The childminder evaluates her practice to help her to precisely identify areas for continuous improvement and target these.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder collects very detailed information from parents when children first start attending and encourages them to regularly contribute to their children's learning. This supports her to very effectively meet the needs of all children. The childminder promotes children's speech and language skills extremely effectively. For example, she talks to children and models language in a way that encourages them to repeat and learn new words. She effortlessly promotes mathematics throughout play and daily routines. Children learn how to group objects, estimate and measure. The childminder provides children with a very exciting variety of textures and materials to extend their creative skills superbly. For example, children enjoy making poppies with a variety of resources. The childminder skilfully extends their learning further, by asking them interesting questions about a walk in the local community and what they saw.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder works closely with parents to establish consistent and highly effective routines. For example, she provides regular guidance and support to parents in relation to children's self-care skills and eating healthily. Children have plenty of fresh air and physical exercise. Children relish regular trips to the local park and attractions. The childminder takes children on regular outings, including trips to playgroups. Children benefit greatly from opportunities to socialise as part of a larger group and with children of different ages.

p.3

They enjoy a vast range of experiences that promotes understanding of families and the wider world. They are exceptionally well prepared for the move to school.
