Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has excellent knowledge and understanding of safeguarding issues and is extremely vigilant. She knows the correct procedures to follow should she have concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder is extremely reflective about the service she provides and constantly evaluates how she can improve. She actively seeks the views of children and parents to drive forward improvements. The childminder keeps her knowledge up to date and any training directly impacts on the outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder exhibits inspirational teaching skills and is very responsive to children's needs. Planned activities offer a wealth of imaginative learning experiences which support children's natural curiosities and help them acquire new skills. For example, children enjoy rolling balls down large tubes in the garden. They develop physical skills as they negotiate and manoeuvre different sized balls through the tubes. They develop their investigative skills as they test out ideas and estimate which ball will roll the furthest. The childminder extends children's learning and introduces mathematical concepts such as counting, matching and measuring. Every part of the day is an experience which motivates children to learn. The childminder is considering further ways to enhance children's literacy and early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is highly skilled at supporting children to make secure attachments. This gives children a strong base for developing their confidence and self-esteem. Consequently, children form friendships with their peers. Children demonstrate exceptionally positive behaviour. They say 'please' and 'thank you' with little or no prompting. They listen carefully to the childminder and to each other and demonstrate respect for others. Children learn about others beyond their own immediate families and communities, as they celebrate festivals, including Chinese New Year, Eid and Easter. They enjoy going on outings to the airport and local park. Children learn about how to keep themselves safe and healthy. They have lots of opportunities to be active and eat a range of healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are making consistently high rates of progress in relation to their starting points. They display positive attitudes and a desire to learn. Children have all the necessary skills for embracing future learning and their eventual move to school.
