p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder seeks regular updates to further extend her strong awareness of safeguarding issues and shares this information well with her assistants. They are very confident to identify potential risks to children and know how to report concerns about children's welfare, should they arise. The childminder is highly ambitious for children and accurately evaluates how she can improve her very effective practice even further. For example, she is already considering how to further enhance her already precise analysis of the learning of individual and different groups of children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder implements highly effective strategies to support children to access the very engaging learning environment successfully. The childminder and her assistants make excellent use of circle time to prepare children very effectively to play and learn. The childminder makes very good use of opportunities to extend children's learning. She and her assistants encourage pre-school children to add, subtract and estimate portions as they cut fruit for their younger peers. Toddlers demonstrate their early literacy skills, such as when they manipulate their name cards through small slots. This also helps to develop the small hand muscles they need for later writing. The childminder and her assistants use accurate assessments of children's progress to quickly identify and address potential gaps in learning. They ensure the very close involvement of parents in this process.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder demonstrates superb work to support children and their parents. She provides trusting and warm relationships and offers reassurance, advice and support. Children show that they form very close bonds with her skilled and motivated assistants. Children behave extremely well. They demonstrate high levels of independence and show care and consideration for others. Pre-school children use a water dispenser to offer water to toddlers, who quickly learn to drink from cups unaided. Children receive excellent support to develop their social and emotional skills. For example, the childminder and her assistants use props to help children share how they feel and name their emotions. The childminder and her assistants are vigilant and implement procedures well. They skilfully support children to understand how to maintain safety, such as when using tools during planting.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Pre-school children demonstrate their language and mathematical skills as they discuss ingredients, weight and measure during role play. Toddlers recognise that writing has different purposes as they explore the text on seed packets. Children confidently share the language they speak at home and discuss the benefits of healthy eating as they prepare snacks. Those in receipt of additional funding enjoy learning to play instruments. Children show that they feel valued and communicate their thoughts and ideas very effectively. They are extremely well prepared for their next stages in learning.
