The provision is outstanding

The childminder ensures that all children are provided with the best possible start to their education. She creates an environment where children flourish. The childminder understands the needs of children exceptionally well and uses this knowledge to plan a curriculum that is ambitious and as stimulating as it is challenging. The childminder observes children closely and uses questioning skilfully to support children's thinking and curiosity. Children develop excellent skills in listening, attention and concentration.

The provision is outstanding

The childminder is an exceptional role model for children. Children have developed extremely strong attachments with the kind and nurturing childminder. She actively listens to, and is interested in, children's communication and interests. This supports children to understand that they are valued and important. Children are encouraged to work as a team to help each other. This means children show respect for their friends and acknowledge each other's contribution. The children's behaviour is impeccable.

n The childminder accesses regular training. This gives her confidence in how her practice consistently supports the areas of learning. For example, when children pick a sunhat, they talk about different sizes, and they guess which one will fit. Children enjoy matching pictures of socks and pegging them on to a line. The childminder suggests to the children that they can match real socks from the washing line later in the day. Children are excited to do this and are motivated to learn. n Children's independence regarding personal hygiene is very well supported. The childminder is there to support children yet allows them to manage their own care. She gives them time and privacy and encourages them to ask for support when needed. Children understand the importance of washing their hands regularly. The childminder asks the children what time of the day they brush their teeth. They say that they do this after lunch.

They consistently show positive attitudes to their play and learning. n The childminder provides children with extensive opportunities to learn about their community. She thoughtfully plans activities to enable children to have exciting new experiences. For example, children enjoy trips to an aquarium, local parks and museums.
