storyteller and expertly introduces new ideas and vocabulary. For instance, children recall storylines from books and identify the beginning, middle and end.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent understanding of the early years foundation stage and the statutory requirements. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of child protection issues. She knows the signs and symptoms that indicate a child may be at risk of abuse, neglect, female genital mutilation and being drawn into extreme behaviours or ideas. She fulfils her safeguarding responsibilities completely. The childminder has attended a wealth of training since her last inspection. For instance, she talks passionately about attending mark-making training. She has used this to develop opportunities for children to explore mark making outdoors with a wider range of resources as well as using height and momentum. Nevertheless, the childminder identifies she can improve her outdoor provision further to increase children's awareness of nature and protecting the environment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Assessment of children's learning and development is precisely recorded. The childminder identifies precise next steps to support children to make high rates of progress in their learning. Excellent monitoring of children's development means that delays in learning are swiftly identified and support is quickly put in place to close gaps in learning. The childminder provides extraordinary imaginative play opportunities. The rich learning environment stimulates children's imaginations and encourages them to develop their own narratives. For instance, children demonstrate exceptional levels of collaboration and perseverance as they build boats and pack suitcases for a treasure hunt. Children refer to maps and photographs of their holidays to identify what to take. The childminder fosters an environment where children are highly motivated to work together to find solutions. The childminder extends their knowledge by introducing new

concepts such as the differences between 'rowing boats' and 'motor boats'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exceptional. The childminder is an excellent role model. Children are extremely kind to one another, demonstrate excellent social skills and listen attentively. Children's voices are incredibly well respected. For instance, children make decisions together about what they should do next, and take account of each other's feelings and energy levels. The childminder plans excellent opportunities for children to develop their understanding of other communities, as well as learning about individual needs such as autism. The childminder is fully committed to developing an environment that fosters respect and consideration for one another. For instance, children celebrate a wide range of festivals, including Diwali and Chinese New Year, as well as taking part in activities such as making Rangoli patterns and tasting foods from other countries.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children have an extremely keen attitude to learning and a thirst for knowledge, and they acquire many skills to prepare them for school. Children solve calculations and use mathematical language very well. For instance, they use tools to cut play dough and explore concepts of size and fractions. They show excellent teamwork as they roll dice and match the numbers to labelled seashells before identifying the 'missing' numbers.
