They are happy, highly motivated and are making good progress in their learning and development as a result.  The childminder works well with parents.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands the processes to follow should she have any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder ensures that all adults in the household are vetted. She manages her service effectively and ensures her home is a safe and secure environment for children to play and learn through her thorough risk assessments. The childminder's high commitment to training and effective self-evaluation has resulted in continued good outcomes for children. Parents' comments about the service are very positive. They state they are very happy with the care their children receive. The childminder also understands the value of close partnership working with other agencies, such as early years settings, to support and complement children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts very well with the children. She follows their lead as she joins in with their play. She guides, supports and provides a constant narrative about what she and the children are doing. Children are starting to develop a love of books. They enjoy spontaneous and planned storytime activities where they listen attentively to popular stories. This helps to continually engage the children and supports their listening and attention skills. A wide range of stimulating and fun activities are planned to extend children's learning and interests through play. The childminder supports children's understanding of the world well. Children learn about different animals, and where they live. Mathematical concepts are promoted well. The childminder helps younger children to count objects and name different colours in the environment. Children are provided with lovely opportunities to be creative and develop their imagination. Younger children are

beginning to develop friendships with the older children as they play together with the dolls and tea set.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder's home is safe and welcoming. She gains detailed information from parents when children first start. The childminder knows the children extremely well and effectively meets their individual needs. Children's health is promoted because the childminder is fully aware of any allergies or medical needs, and ensures every child is provided with a balanced, nutritious diet. Children behave well and are being well prepared for their future move on to school. They are aware of rules and boundaries and the childminder promotes good sharing skills and cooperation with others. Children are able to take risks in safe surroundings. They have lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills as they play in the garden and go out exploring local places of interest.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development based on their starting points. They are acquiring the key skills required for their next stage in learning.
