Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has a highly professional approach to every area of her work. For example, she follows through her policies, procedures and risk assessments with clear daily, monthly and annual checks. This helps her to ensure that she meets every area of safeguarding and welfare to a very high standard. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge and understanding of child protection issues and knows how to manage and report any concerns. She has attended extensive training in safeguarding and the 'Prevent' duty programme. Accurate self-evaluation helps the childminder to plan incisively for improvements, such as taking account of older children's and parents' views.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of what children can do. She uses this information to plan highly successful activities that motivate children to become successful learners. She is extremely effective in teaching children about concentrating and listening to clear instructions and ensuring children have lots of fun. For example, children enjoy copying a picture shown to them using building bricks. The childminder gives superb support to them as they copy the shape in the picture. The childminder's interactions with children are highly stimulating. She talks to them constantly. This helps children to be enthusiastic learners and very good communicators. The childminder skilfully interacts with children, constantly extending their understanding of new concepts and language. For example, children explore how if they jump on large bubble wrap it makes a loud noise, but if they step lightly it does not burst. They laugh and

giggle and repeat the words of the childminder as she says 'burst' and 'bang'. The childminder has a precise knowledge of each child's development and next steps in learning. She clearly monitors and illustrates how each child is making rapid progress in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children enjoy the childminder's company and are provided with excellent opportunities to initiate their own learning and develop very good self-esteem. Children choose where they play and what they play with. The childminder follows their individual routines and swiftly recognises and responds to their needs. Children learn to keep themselves safe and healthy. For example, the childminder ensures children have daily opportunities to be physically active, such as playing in the garden and going out into the community to parks and farms. The childminder is an exemplary role model and children behave exceptionally well. Children develop high levels of independence. For example, young children know the routine of washing their hands before lunch.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make rapid progress from their starting points, particularly in mathematics. They are keen to learn and readily make decisions in their play. They delight in exploring numbers, recognising them and showing how well they can count up to eight. They are extremely well prepared for the next stages in their education.
