The provision is outstanding

Children benefit from an exciting range of awe-inspiring learning opportunities. The childminder has an excellent understanding of children's next steps in learning. She tailors learning precisely to children's next steps and interests. For instance, children become fully absorbed in their learning. They listen intently to stories, such as 'Going to the Dentist'. They act out events in the story during their imaginative play, such as using tools to look in each other's mouths and count teeth. They recall events from the story with exceptionally high levels of detail, talking about what happened using their expanding range of vocabulary. The childminder has exceptionally high expectations. All children make outstanding progress, including children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

This is demonstrated when they excitedly look at model teeth together and brush them clean using toothpaste and brushes.

They show high levels of respect for others and their behaviour is impressive. n The childminder's knowledge of how to excite children to learn is outstanding. For instance, she responds swiftly to children's emerging interests. Children talk about visiting the dentist. The childminder captures this interest and plans activities to help them explore this further. Children look in their lunch boxes and consider whether any of the food may harm their teeth. They make links to healthy and unhealthy foods. They talk about their teeth and their features, such as fillings. They learn the names of different types of teeth and dentist's tools. The childminder links children's interest in teeth expertly to other areas of learning. For instance, she teaches children how to develop their hand control,

She has a continual desire to enhance her own practice. This has helped her to maintain the excellent quality of her provision.
