Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an in-depth knowledge of what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She keeps her already thorough knowledge up to date, such as through completing regular training to further extend her understanding of wider safeguarding issues. The childminder monitors the quality of the provision thoroughly. She uses her knowledge effectively to provide a safe and highly stimulating environment that promotes children's learning to the highest level. The childminder is aware that she has the capacity to develop the quality of teaching even further to enhance children's ability to complete tasks independently. Training, such as 'interactive storytelling', has a significant impact on children's enjoyment and learning from books.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children's cultural diversity and nationality are fully respected, embraced and children develop multilingual skills. The childminder promotes children's mathematical development in creative ways, at every opportunity. They compare foods by colour, shape and smell. For example, children discuss how many red foods they have been eating today. They note that carrots and parsnips are the same shape but have different colours and smells. Children count how many spoons of rice they add to the pot, count the number of children present and then calculate how many are boys or girls. Young children show delight and excitement as they identify letters and recognise their name. They cooperate fully with each other and willingly share and take turns. This all contributes to children's excellent progress in literacy and their social skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is extremely skilful in promoting children's emotional and physical well- being. She helps them to learn daily routines, such as what is happening now and what will happen next. For example, children prepare and mix the ingredients for the soup and the childminder explains that when they have finished, they can play outside while it is cooking. They will then be able to eat what they have made for their lunch. Children gain an excellent understanding of how to be safe and healthy. The childminder expertly guides children to think about healthy food alternatives and teaches them how to safely use kitchen utensils as they grate the vegetables. Hygiene routines are meticulous and children have a thorough understanding of the need to wash their hands after toileting and before meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely confident and make rapid progress across all areas of learning. They demonstrate high attention spans and thrive in the setting. Children are fully prepared with the skills and knowledge required for the next stage in their learning, including the move to school. They thoroughly enjoy stories and enthusiastically repeat lines from their favourite books.
