The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in this warm, nurturing setting where they feel extremely safe, valued and happy. They form secure, trusting relationships with the childminder, who provides a remarkably calm and welcoming atmosphere in which children settle quickly and confidently.

p.2

The provision is outstanding

The childminder expertly adapts her teaching based on each child's age, stage of development and their interests. Consequently, children's focus, attention and engagement during play and activities is excellent. They show very positive attitudes to learning as they persevere with tasks and show delight when they succeed. For example, she helps young children learn that objects still exist even when hidden from sight through games.

n Activities are meticulously planned around children's interests and stages of development. For example, the childminder talks about children recently experiencing a 'teddy bear's picnic' and extends this with the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Children create 'porridge' play dough and learn how to follow a recipe. She introduces measurements, such as 'cups', and children work out the correct measurements as they divide the ingredients into half or quarters. They use the correct mathematical language, including 'small', 'medium' and 'large' when deciding which portion size for each bear from the story. n The childminder builds children's communication skills effectively. She models language and gives children time to think and respond. The carefully planned repetition exposes children to a range of new vocabulary and helps the youngest children to learn new words in a range of contexts. Children are expressive and

16 July 2025 childminder diligently monitors children's learning to ensure that any gaps in their development are quickly addressed. As a result of this targeted teaching, children make exceptional progress from their starting points. n The childminder places high priority on supporting children's self-esteem and good behaviour. Children behave impeccably well and are considerate of each other, particularly towards younger children. They consistently follow instructions and show high levels of respect. For example, when children want to get out new toys, they know to tidy away other resources first, taking responsibility and care for their environment. n Partnerships with parents are exceptional. Parents share how their children are happy, and can see this through beaming smiles at drop off and in photographs they receive. The childminder keeps parents fully updated about progress and provides advice to help support their children's ongoing well-being and care.

n The childminder has a superb knowledge of child development and how to provide a rich learning environment. She is committed to improving the quality of her teaching through training opportunities such as webinars. She has recently attended training on how to support babies' development. As a result, she has adapted her environment to develop younger children's physical skills to practise cruising and moving in a range of ways. n The childminder promotes children's health through a consistent approach that builds healthy habits for life. Children know to wash their hands before eating, demonstrating their growing understanding of good hygiene. The childminder creates a culture where children are supported to be healthy. For example, she helps parents register their children at a dentist. This helps build strong foundations for children's physical well-being.
