It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, children do not have enough opportunities to see words in context, to enhance their introduction to early reading.  The childminder does not always make full use of all information she gathers when children first start, to enhance the way she monitors their progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements relevant policies and procedures to help protect children and support their welfare. She knows the signs to look out for if a child is at risk of harm and the procedures to follow to report any welfare concerns. The childminder reflects on her practice regularly to recognise the setting's strengths and areas to improve. She seeks the views of others and keenly acts on the advice of professionals, to develop her practice further; for example, she has improved assessment procedures. The childminder develops her knowledge and skills effectively, to improve her teaching practice and to raise outcomes for all children. She attends networking meetings to share good practice with other professionals.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches children effectively. She skilfully questions, encourages and, when appropriate, demonstrates how to do things. The childminder knows the children well. She makes regular observations to help identify their emerging needs and plan suitable experiences to extend their learning. Children confidently choose the activities they wish to engage in. They enjoy using different tools to experiment with during messy play activities, while developing their hand-muscle control. The childminder adapts her teaching approach successfully to meet the needs of individual children. For example, she talks to children during activities, demonstrating how to form sentences to enhance their communication skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to learn about healthy lifestyles and she supports their physical well-being effectively. For example, she provides nutritious foods, such as fruits for snack. Children behave well. The childminder acts as a positive role model, while helping children to understand how to treat others and what is acceptable. She encourages them to be responsible and independent. For example, children help her set up the toys during outdoor play, while developing their self-esteem. The childminder uses her policies and procedures well to underpin her responsibility to keep children safe. She completes regular risk assessments of the premises and of outings, to ensure children's safety and welfare at all times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills needed for their future learning. Babies and toddlers learn to walk confidently and develop good physical skills. Older children learn to use tools safely and with control. All children develop secure social skills, for example, they learn to play with others kindly and to share.
