Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is very enthusiastic in her role and in her interactions with children. She joins in with children's play and nurtures their learning very well. For example, children gain excellent mathematical skills as they count and add up small groups together. They receive superb encouragement to recall a familiar story and predict what will happen next. The childminder uses skilful questioning, discussions and songs to encourage children to use their voices. She reinforces correct grammar and punctuation at every opportunity. Children animatedly talk about their own meaningful experiences. This significantly contributes towards children's confidence in communicating and towards the excellent progress they make.

They choose what they would like to eat for their healthy snacks. Children confidently learn to use knives to safely cut their own fruit. They understand and follow the daily routines well. Children have outstanding daily opportunities to gain fresh air in the childminder's inspiring and interesting garden. They demonstrate remarkable behaviour and high levels of self- confidence and self-esteem. The childminder works hard to teach children the importance of taking turns, sharing and to keep themselves safe, for example, when handling scissors. Her calm manner and skilled approach to addressing emotions teach children about caring and kindness.
