The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in this inspirational and well-resourced environment. The childminder is passionate and enthusiastic about her role and has high expectations for all children to achieve. The childminder knows the children exceptionally well. She uses their interests to plan activities to stimulate and excite them to learn. For instance, children's curiosity is sparked when they spot rainbows. Older children use paints and colouring pens to make their own rainbows. Young children relish showing their sorting skills. They delight in sorting out coloured objects into the colours of a rainbow.

The provision is outstanding

Children are exceptionally happy. Their high levels of confidence and self-assurance show they feel safe and secure in the childminder's care. Young children show outstanding levels of motivation and determination to succeed. They creatively adapt resources to meet their own needs. For instance, children want to move pretend ducks down a water tray. They decide to transform guttering into water slides.

The provision is outstanding

The childminder is extremely confident in her ability to extend and enhance the things children know and can do. She provides an environment rich in language and expertly uses every opportunity to extend children's vocabulary. For instance, she introduces new words as young children make their own sandwiches, talking about shapes, sizes and 'one more' and 'one less'.

n The childminder's approach to supporting children to understand their feelings and emotions is exemplary. For example, she skilfully encourages children to talk about their changing emotions. They then plan ways to resolve problems together. The childminder works closely with parents to embed this approach consistently. Children describe their feelings and emotions exceptionally confidently. They show high levels of respect for others and their behaviour is impressive. n The childminder consistently plans activities where children have excellent opportunities to visit places of interest, such as the local parks and woodland areas. These experiences help to deepen children's understanding of the wider world. The childminder uses outings to further develop children's understanding of keeping themselves safe. n Children's early mathematical skills are continuously being developed in age- appropriate ways. This is evident as young children automatically bring counting

12 March 2020 provision is of the highest standard. She specifically completes training to build upon her professional knowledge and reflect on improving her practice. This means that children are in constant receipt of high-quality teaching. n Children have many excellent opportunities to develop their early writing skills. Younger children are particularly resourceful in achieving their goals. For example, when the childminder mentions writing names on their work, they collect name labels to help them form letters correctly. n Partnerships with parents are first rate. The childminder gathers a wealth of information from parents prior to a child starting with her. She gains detailed care and development information which enables her to plan for children's learning from the beginning. Parents are extremely complimentary about the childminder and the excellent service she provides. n Children thoroughly benefit from meaningful learning across all areas of the

All develop excellent skills and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning. n Young children show exceptional independence skills for their age. They are confident at putting on their own shoes and coats before going outside. Children competently cut and make their own food at mealtimes. They delight in taking responsibility for small tasks. For instance, following a messy painting activity, children enthusiastically wash their hands and brushes. They know to dry their brushes on a towel before putting them away.

She has a wealth of meticulously well-written safeguarding information available, to which she can refer for further guidance. The childminder knows what to do if she has any concerns about a child in her care. Her home is extremely safe and children are well supervised at all times. The childminder demonstrates an excellent knowledge of how to keep the children safe in the home and when outdoors.
