with children and she has plans to strengthen her already excellent teaching further. The childminder monitors the children's progress in a way that clearly allows her to identify any gaps in their learning. Parents are given countless opportunities to be involved in their children's learning and their voices are always very much heard and listened to. These highly effective partnerships lead to an incredibly strong provision.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is an extremely confident and effective communicator with children of different ages and abilities. She has a wonderful and effortless approach to adapting activities to incorporate children's interests and supporting their individual language and communication skills. For example, during a play dough activity, she is able to support younger children who are still developing their language, by repeating words and sounds without losing the interest or focus of the older children. The childminder follows the lead of the children and extends their learning by asking questions and engaging in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are incredibly happy, calm and secure, and their behaviour is excellent. The childminder has a wonderfully kind and caring approach to everything she does, allowing children to be themselves in a safe and enchanting environment. She is extremely respectful towards the children and listens to their ideas and suggestions with great enthusiasm and interest. The childminder encourages children to do things for themselves, for example tidying up their toys and putting on their shoes and coats. Children are provided with a range of healthy and nutritious snacks and meals, and together with the childminder, they sit together and eat as a family.
