p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not fully give parents the information and support they need to guide their children's learning as effectively as possible at home.  The childminder monitors and evaluates her practice. However, there is not a strong focus on her professional development to raise the quality of her teaching even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder demonstrates how her training in this area ensures she has a comprehensive understanding of how to keep children safe. Overall, she demonstrates a commitment to continuously improve the quality of the provision she provides. For example, she has put appropriate plans in place to further enhance the outside play area to benefit all children. She works closely with other professionals to ensure children get the help and support they need. This has a positive impact on the progress children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children in her care very well. She follows children's interests and engages, challenges and motivates them through the activities they like best. Children are provided with good opportunities to develop their communication skills. For example, the childminder skilfully helps children to develop their vocabulary, as they use a variety of old telephones to engage in imaginary conversations. The childminder takes children on a variety of daily outings which stimulate their interests and curiosity. She helps children to develop an understanding of the world around them and the wider community. She also helps them develop their social interactions in a variety of different places. The childminder encourages children's curiosity and invites them to explore and solve simple problems. She models how to count and she encourages even the youngest children to join in. They excitedly anticipate being lifted up when the childminder counts to the

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's physical well-being particularly well. Children display excitement and motivation when they have opportunities to climb and jump. The childminder provides positive praise as children share and take turns. She is very aware of individual children's care and welfare needs. She works closely with parents to help children to settle with her and to ensure continuity in their care. She anticipates the needs of children who are not yet speaking and has effective ways of interpreting young children's non-verbal communication. She helps children to take responsibility and know why it is important to tidy away toys after playing. Children display their growing independence. They learn to put on their shoes before going outdoors. The childminder encourages and supports children as they begin to understand how to keep healthy. She explains to them the need to have clean hands before they eat and helps them to learn

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The childminder effectively monitors the progress children make over time. She ensures that any gaps in children's learning and development are identified and addressed quickly. Children make good progress and are helped to understand and develop the skills and attitudes that they need for their future learning, such as starting school. All children behave very well in the childminder's care. The childminder gives clear and consistent messages and boundaries regarding behaviour.
