The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in the homely, caring environment the childminder and her assistants provide. Children are familiar with her well-embedded daily routines. For example, they excitedly gather to sit for the morning dry toothbrushing time. They quickly assemble for circle time discussions. Older children speak confidently about what they like and things that they have done at home. Babies feel at ease and sit on the childminder's lap for cuddles. At every opportunity, the childminder and her assistants sensitively support children to hear and pronounce words correctly. This successfully builds on their growing understanding of vocabulary and rapidly developing speaking skills.

The provision is outstanding

Children behave extremely well and older children are exemplary role models for younger children. Children experience a wealth of rich learning activities. Such as, routine visits to the local forest to explore nature, and buying strawberries to make jam. They learn about the importance of recycling by sorting reusable items. Children explore and play with boundless energy. They respectfully assert themselves when expressing preferences for their play.

The provision is outstanding

Overall, there is a strong sense of togetherness in children's interactions with each other and the adults. They happily include adults in their child-initiated activities while remaining immersed in cooperative play. Older children display great maturity and maintain their composure as younger children have a turn with their favourite toys.

n The childminder ensures excellent promotion of children's communication and language in all activities. She enthusiastically retells familiar stories like 'Jack and the Beanstalk' to introduce children to the concept of planting and growing. Children listen with awe and wonder. They concentrate intensely while following the events of the story. Their enthusiasm is evident as they make their own contributions and finish her rhyming strings. All the adults provide clear and ongoing narrations for children's actions. They intentionally repeat key vocabulary using supporting visuals during adult-directed activities. Hence, children recall their experiences using newly learned words. For example, they use words like 'slimy' and 'miniature' to describe slugs and snails they saw the day before. n Older babies keenly look at books. They sit near the adults as they point to pictures and make the sounds of animals. They rapidly move from gesturing to

Older babies grasp writing tools well, determined to make their own marks as they play nearby. n Children are highly independent. They apply sun cream unaided and check they have covered their skin well. Younger children put on their hats before going outside. They confidently spread peanut butter on rice cakes at snack time. n The childminder has high aspirations for children in her care. She is dedicated to preparing children well to move on to school. She expertly deploys her assistants with specific roles and responsibilities. Hence, older children benefit immensely from daily opportunities to practise letter formation, early mathematical skills and initial sounds, uninterrupted. Children are deeply focused at these times and take great pride in their work. n Parents speak very highly of the childminder. They say their children make

excellent progress and quickly learn to use more complex vocabulary in their conversations. n The childminder's one-to-one supervision sessions of her assistants are robust and inspiring. She identifies relevant training to address any gaps in her assistants' knowledge. As a result, her assistants' practice is of a high standard. They say she values their ideas and considers their well-being. Together, they form a strong, hardworking team. n The childminder has reflectively considered the advice given by the area childminding development officer regarding promoting diversity. She now provides additional inspirational experiences for children. For example, the children listen to stories about the origins of Ramadan and learn how henna is used in celebrations. They dance to cultural music and help make Jamaican patties.

The childminder has a broad understanding of safeguarding concerns, including the potential risk to children with regard to radicalisation and extremism.
