The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn through play. She plans activities that children enjoy and are interested in. This helps them to develop the skills necessary to be ready for their future learning at nursery or school.  The childminder regularly reflects on her practice to help her identify her strengths and areas for development. She undertakes continuous professional development in order to improve the care and learning opportunities she provides.  The childminder is vigilant about children's safety and security and gives priority to risk assessments. This enables children to freely explore the indoor and outdoor

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always gather enough information from parents about children's learning and achievements at home. This means she cannot use parents' knowledge to complement her teaching and promote children's rapid progress.  The childminder sometimes does not give children enough time to think about and answer questions they are asked.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The qualified and experienced childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of how children learn and develop. This supports her to deliver good quality learning experiences that are well matched to children's individual needs. The childminder monitors children's progress well to identify and address any gaps in their learning. She works very closely with other settings and has developed strong communication channels with them. This helps to promote consistency in children's care and learning. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of child protection procedures and knows how to refer concerns to the appropriate authorities. Safeguarding training has helped support the childminder's understanding of what action to take if she has concerns about a child in her care. The childminder has good systems in place to check her practice is safe. Confidentiality is respected and information is kept secure.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Regular risk assessments are completed for the home and on outings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are keen to access the wide selection of resources and activities readily available. The childminder joins in their play or is nearby to support learning. She lets children lead the play to develop their imagination. Children enjoy playing with farm animals. They repeat the sounds that they make to the childminder, who praises their skills. Children are very eager to play with the coloured rice. They use the good selection of tools to fill and empty pans with the rice. This supports children's understanding of size and texture as, for example, the childminder asks them if the containers are full or empty. Tracking and monitoring of children's development are accurate. The childminder uses this information to help prepare children for their future move on to nursery or school. Regular observations and assessments are used well to plan challenging activities that help children progress towards their next steps in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very confident and at ease in the childminder's home. They make regular visits into the local community and learn about diversity through activities and resources. The childminder supports their physical health well by providing well-balanced meals and lots of opportunities to exercise and play outside in the well-resourced garden. The childminder encourages children to wash their hands and discusses why cleaning their hands is important. She works closely with parents to find out about children's care needs, in order to mirror routines at home. Children receive extensive praise and encouragement. This raises children's self-esteem and supports their willingness to persevere in activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and acquire the skills for their next stage in learning and move to school. They are self-motivated and display good levels of enjoyment and engagement as they confidently explore their surroundings and display a very strong sense of curiosity. Children are learning the importance of having a healthy lifestyle and following good hygiene routines. They develop their mathematical understanding and counting skills while they play.
