Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder uses her excellent knowledge of how children develop to successfully plan interesting and stimulating activities that fuels children's enthusiasm to learn. She provides excellent support for children to develop their communication skills. For example, children's attention is captivated as they select a toy from a bag and discuss what it is. The childminder skilfully links in stories, rhymes and mathematical activities to the item they have chosen. This fully challenges children's learning and encourages them to think more deeply and solve problems. Children eagerly explore the outdoor areas. They use a range of metal containers, teapots and goblets to practise their water pouring skills and learn about volume and capacity. Children enjoy using dough to make shapes and enjoy experimenting with innovative materials that include wooden shapes, feathers and strings of beads. However, the childminder recognises there are even more

opportunities to enhance children's creative skills further.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make very rapid progress in their learning and development. They are eager learners who become actively involved in challenging activities. They develop high levels of independence, for example even younger children cut up their own fruit at snack time, help to tidy away toys and serve themselves their meal at lunchtime. Young children quickly learn how to say new words that the childminder models for them. They develop excellent physical skills as they explore the outdoors. All children are developing excellent skills to prepare them for the next stage in their learning and as they move on to school.
