p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent knowledge and understanding of the procedures to follow should she have concerns about a child's safety or well-being. She works extremely closely with her co-childminders and attends a variety of different events such as cluster meetings, training and network meetings. This helps to ensure that her knowledge is in line with current legislation. The childminder has an excellent attitude towards continuous development. She continuously strives to provide the best possible learning environment and opportunities for all children. For example, recent training has further developed her knowledge and understanding of how to support children with specific special educational needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder has a faultless understanding of how children learn. She inspires them to engage and provides excellent motivation which continuously challenges their stage of development. Children have impressive imaginations. For example, they talk with exceptional detail about a holiday that they are going on. The childminder asks children questions about what they will need, how they will get there and how long it is going to take. Children respond enthusiastically and are swept away with their plans. They find paper and pens to make passports and state that they need to write everyone's name. The childminder provides letters for children to copy and uses this as an opportunity to test children's letter sounds. Further discussion leads to talking about sun cream and hats, which inspires the childminder to test children's knowledge about keeping themselves safe. Learning opportunities are endless and the childminder has an

outstanding skill of being able to link them seamlessly while keeping children engaged.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder has excellent relationships with all children and they very quickly form secure attachments with her and the co-childminders. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Their understanding of the childminder's expectations is highly impressive. They take excellent care of the environment and resources. For example, when they have finished with a piece of equipment, they put it back where it belongs and tuck their chair under the table. The childminder and her colleagues are excellent role models. They treat children with high levels of respect, listen to their ideas and understand their individual needs. Children enjoy exceptionally healthy meals and regular fresh air. However, the childminder has recognised that she can develop children's knowledge and understanding of healthy lifestyles even more.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children thrive in the highly stimulating environment that the childminder prepares. They are exceptionally independent and demonstrate the confidence and positive attitude towards learning that is needed for moving on to school. Children thoroughly enjoy learning outdoors. For example, they enjoy taking part in bug hunts and are highly inquisitive as they search the area with excitement. They easily recognise printed letters on flash cards and are beginning to form some letters when attempting to write.
