Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a vast and wide knowledge and understanding of child protection issues and knows how to manage and report any such concerns. She has attended extensive training in both safeguarding and 'Prevent' duty. The childminder continually and accurately reflects on the quality of her practice using the views of parents very effectively. Her ongoing assessment of her provision reflects her outstanding drive to support children's achievements and maintain her highest standards. Her commitment to professional development is excellent; she has attended a vast variety of purposeful courses. This enables her to be highly effective in managing and enhancing her work and she is keen to identify more training to build and continue to maintain her excellent practice further. The childminder has built up excellent links with local schools and creates an exceptional sense of support and continuity for children

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is highly successful in her teaching as she talks to children about what they are doing. She extends their learning by asking very good questions, and giving the children time to think and reply. For example, as children learn how to plant seeds, the childminder asks them, 'What do they need to grow?', to which they are very quick to reply, 'They need water to grow'. The childminder makes exceptional use of the observations and ongoing assessments of children's activities and learning, and uses in- depth information gathered from parents to plan excellent activities that challenge children exceedingly well. She expertly utilises opportunities to promote children's mathematical skills, as they count how many amounts of soil are needed to fill the plant pot half full. The childminder extends the activity by reading a book about how plants grow and which animals might try to eat them. Children listen intensely to the story and

are extremely keen to repeat the process of how the plants grow.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder provides a highly accessible, inclusive and stimulating environment indoors and in the extremely well-resourced garden. Children spend a lot of time in the garden, where they water the flowers they have planted and use their imagination extremely well. For example, they lay out the picnic blanket and put out the cups for their dolls and pretend to feed them. Children begin to learn about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. They are also extremely independent as the childminder offers them a vast amount of opportunities to do things for themselves. For example, they serve themselves at lunchtime and they are learning to put on their shoes, go to the toilet and wash their hands independently, in preparation for moving on to nursery.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children explore in a rich, stimulating environment, and develop independence and resilience remarkably well. All children make outstanding progress from their starting points, including those who receive funded early education. All children are developing excellent skills in readiness for their move on to nursery and school.
