p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The childminder is extremely passionate about delivering high-quality education to children. She continuously strives to develop her teaching, environments and general service for families. She does this through attending training to enhance her professional development, recording accurate assessments of children and parents' feedback forms. As part of her self-evaluation she will be continuing to enhance the already excellent organisation of her environment to further promote children's independence when choosing activities. The childminder monitors children's progress extremely well. She completes in-depth reports termly which are shared with parents. Parents are invited to make comments on their children's progress which forms part of the excellent partnership working the childminder has established. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an excellent understanding of her role to safeguard and protect children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children benefit significantly from the childminder's extremely sensitive and engaging manner. She is highly successful in her teaching. For example, she teaches children the life cycle of a butterfly. Children confidently remember the cycle and relay this enthusiastically during a story about a caterpillar. The childminder captures quality observations of children during their chosen play. She uses these, along with her knowledge of individual children, to know what she will plan next. For example, children talk about holidays and the childminder then uses this as a focus for the following week. Children take pleasure in being part of the recording of their developments and sharing these with their parents. For example, they use pictures of themselves to recall what they have been doing with the childminder.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish in the meticulously planned environment. They are happy and content in the care of the childminder. Children behave exceptionally well. They take pleasure in playing alongside other children and show cooperation and respect for each other as they play with dough together. The bonds children have with the childminder promote a wealth of independence and enjoyment. The childminder sets high expectations for children in her care. She knows them considerably well and challenges their learning in a nurturing manner. This develops skills that prepare children well for the next stage of their learning, such as using the toilet and taking care of their personal hygiene needs. Children manage their own risk exceptionally well. For example, they use ride-on bicycles and work out, with support from the childminder, which is the safest route down to the patio area.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are eager learners that consistently make rapid progress. They show a 'can-do' approach to their learning. For example, they persist when filling containers up to the top for their 'mud cakes'. They follow routines well, for example they collect their bowls and drinks ready for their snack. Children develop their physical development and their early literacy skills. For example, they make marks using paintbrushes in water to practise their writing skills.
