Quote`s from Ofsted inspection report for 2015 /2016

" The childminder is passionate about the service she provides and strives

continually to ensure the best outcomes for children. She uses self-evaluation

extremely effectively to accurately assess all aspects of her practice and provision.

The changes she makes have highly positive effects on, children's learning and

development".

"The standard of teaching is consistently high. The childminder knows the

children extremely well and plans challenging and interesting activities. Children

are prepared well for the next stages in their learning".

"The childminder supports children's welfare and personal development to a

very high standard.Children develop close and trusting relationships with

the childminder. Excellent partnerships with parents help to promote continuity

in children's care and education".

"Children are highly motivated as they explore the outstanding range of activities

and resources, indoors and outdoors. Their behaviour is consistently good

and they clearly enjoy their time in the setting immensely".

"The childminder actively seeks to update her knowledge of childcare through

extensive training.She makes excellent use of her skills and knowledge to improve

outcomes for children. For example, a course on supporting learning outdoors has

inspired the childminder with exciting new ideas for her outdoor provision".
