She uses this to carefully analyse and implement improvement plans, which help to maintain very high standards of teaching. n The childminder astutely recognises the progress children need to make in preparation for their eventual move to nursery and school. She works exceptionally well with the nurseries and school's children attend, in order to identify a consistent approach to developing children's early reading and writing skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed enhanced safeguarding training and implements highly effective policies and procedures. She is extremely vigilant to child protection issues and knows to take swift action should she have a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder targets her professional development very well. She is highly motivated and has identified a need to continue with her professional development, in order to maintain and increase the already high quality of children's learning experiences. The childminder meticulously completes research online and has extremely strong links with the local nursery and school. The childminder evaluates the quality of her setting tremendously well. She judiciously uses the feedback she receives from parents, children and other professional before implementing highly effective improvement plans, which benefit all children who attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children demonstrates excellent levels of confidence and motivation as they complete tasks independently in this highly stimulating and well-resourced learning environment. For example, children immerse themselves completely into their learning as they create car tracks, tunnels and bridges using large cardboard tubes and tree trunks. Very young children independently categorise and organise different vehicles according to shape and size. They carefully investigate and compare the components of each vehicle and scrupulously work out why some move faster than others. The nurturing childminder supports children's learning superbly as they explore with curiosity and confidence. The childminder is wonderfully in tune with the needs of very young infants, who gaze intently at the childminder as she softly sings lullabies and nursery rhymes. Very young infants and older children engage well with the marvellous selection of sensory and

musical resources the childminder prepares for them. This helps children develop their emerging communication and language skills exceptionally well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is remarkable. They develop an exceptional understanding of the differences between themselves and others, and learn how to be sensitive and considerate towards the needs of other people and animals. The childminder tactfully talks to children about why we need to be sensitive and considerate towards others. Children are exceptionally responsive to this and develop a strong sense of themselves as they talk about feelings and emotions. Children benefit greatly from regular exercise and fresh air as they take walks around the local areas. They explore in the wonderfully planned outdoor play area the childminder lovingly developed for them. Children develop a strong understanding of how to keep themselves safe as they help to assess risks and hazards in their learning environment from a very young age.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent and rapid progress in their learning. They use mathematical language and confidently count throughout their play. Children demonstrate exceedingly high levels of confidence as they persevere with challenging construction tasks. Children are superbly equipped with the skills needed for their future learning.
