This provision is good

n The childminder has high expectations of what children can achieve. She responds quickly to any gaps in their learning. For example, children attend activity play sessions to specifically support their physical development. n Children have a strong sense of achievement. For example, older children describe how their writing has developed over time as they observe their accomplishments. n The childminder sensitively reinforces positive behaviour which encourages children to manage their feelings and frustrations. This helps to support their emotional well-being exceptionally well. n Children settle extremely quickly in a highly stimulating environment. The childminder is caring and children demonstrate a highly impressive sense of belonging. n The childminder is highly skilled and works very closely with parents who describe the childminder's setting as 'home from home'.

children's dietary requirements is outstanding. n The childminder regularly observes children and uses these observations to track their progress and to support her to identify what they need to learn next. n Parents feel extremely well informed about their children's progress, which the childminder shares with parents regularly. Therefore, they are able to mirror learning and development at home. n All children, including those in receipt of additional funding and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning. n The childminder evaluates her practice and identifies areas for development. However, she does not fully explore opportunities to gain parents' views, to focus on future improvements more sharply.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good awareness of child protection issues and the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child in her care. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder uses highly effective methods to regularly monitor her practice and enhance her professional development. She creates a development plan to support her ongoing high expectations for her setting. The childminder has enhanced her strategies to support individual children's behaviour, following a behaviour management course. She works with other professionals to support children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder promotes each child's interests and next steps in learning. Children thoroughly enjoy books and reading together. The childminder skilfully re-shapes activities to give all children the opportunity to learn from their experiences. Children are encouraged to take turns to choose age-appropriate books, which the childminder reads with all children. She uses various methods to encourage children to participate and recall what will happen next, using words and pictures. This supports children's early literacy, communication and language skills effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are enthusiastic and eager to learn. Young children demonstrate an excellent understanding of how to be healthy. They confidently choose their fruit. They demonstrate their skills as they peel and eat their banana. Young children follow highly effective hygiene routines and understand why each child has a differently coloured towel. Children's management of risks is highly impressive. They are physically active throughout the day. Children spend time outdoors in all weathers and have awe-inspiring experiences in the woods. They make imaginary fires, dens and climb trees. Young children are extremely confident collecting sticks and exploring the environment. Children take photographs and learn about the changing seasons. They discuss the differences between buds and blossoms. Children are confident during the daily routine and develop skills for the future. For example, they are highly productive in sorting

materials and recycling. Children make friends quickly and have exceptional opportunities to develop their social skills. The childminder creates opportunities for children learn about differences as they build relationships with their peers and children with(SEND). All children have exceptional communication and language skills as they take turns to share their personal experiences during group times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are independent and use their imagination as they lead their play. Young children build towers and houses with bricks and count very securely from a young age. Older children take part in a range of creative activities that support their literacy and early writing skills. For example, they create projects and extend their learning about space and planets. All children are very well prepared for the next stage in their learning and their move to school.
