p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding
Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent knowledge of how to identify the signs and symptoms that may give her cause for concern about the welfare of a child in her care. She knows the procedure to follow if she has any concerns. The childminder has made herself aware of how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder constantly identifies how to make improvements to her already high-quality provision. For example, she is identifying further ways to build even further on her professional development. She takes excellent action to keep children safe. For instance, she creates highly effective strategies to teach children how to keep themselves safe and manage their own risk.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding
The childminder meticulously observes children's activities and interests and uses this information to constantly tailor their learning experiences to their individual needs. She creates highly focused plans of what children need to learn next. Children have inspirational opportunities to develop their physical skills and learn about the natural world. For example, they run through fields, collect and plant conkers, explore natural materials and talk excitedly about how they have discovered a wall covered in snails. The childminder expertly engages children's interest in each other and their similarities and differences. For example, children delightedly look at books made for them by the childminder which contain pictures of their special people, favourite activities and work. They are excited by the books which are enriched with flaps and moving parts.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding
The childminder is extremely nurturing to the children and an excellent role model. She sensitively teaches children how to learn to care for each other and make friendships. For example, older children carefully explain how younger children need to sleep or they get 'too tired'. Children's social well-being is supported at the highest level, for instance, as they learn how to think about, and express, how they feel. Children understand how to share their space, resources and ideas in the extraordinarily warm and inclusive environment the childminder carefully creates.
p.3
Outcomes for children are outstanding
All children are extremely excited by their own learning. They are highly self-motivated and use the skills and knowledge they develop to extend their own activities effectively. For example, they use their mathematical learning to count and explore different ideas such as 'under' and 'through'. Children experiment with their emerging writing to create their own labels and name their own work. They have high levels of confidence. Children constantly learn important skills for the next stage of their learning.
