It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the childminder misses some opportunities to extend children's emerging literacy skills in early writing and letter recognition.  Although, the childminder seeks parents' views about her practice, she does not regularly seek the views of children so that they can give their ideas for future developments.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the policies and procedures to keep children safe from harm. She knows how to identify and report any signs that may indicate a child is at risk. The childminder assesses any safety risks, inside and outside of her home, to ensure the safety and well- being of the children. The childminder plans activities that support children's different learning needs. She closely monitors the progress they make and uses this information well to provide them with effective support, guidance and challenge. Parents' questionnaires demonstrate that she is highly regarded by them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder actively plays alongside children and teaches them well. Together, they enjoy completing a diverse set of jigsaws on the floor. The childminder promotes their learning and asks them questions about what they can see. Children recognise the animals and copy the sound they make. She continues to do this using finger puppets and reading books linked to feelings. Children sing songs and play musical instruments. They enjoy sensory play with modelling dough and a sticky mixture. The childminder assesses children regularly. She uses this information to monitor their progress and plan for their emerging needs. The childminder works well with parents. She shares information with them to help promote a continuous approach to meeting children's needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model. Children learn how to behave and use good manners. They learn to share and take turns, demonstrate kindness and develop positive attitudes towards others. Children are happy and contented. They develop a close bond and secure relationship with the childminder and her family. The childminder promotes healthy lifestyles and children learn about healthy eating. They eat snacks and meals sitting together at the table. Children enjoy outings to places in the community and enjoy playing in the back garden. This helps them to learn about where they live and promotes their physical well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress given their starting points. They develop independence and make their own choices about their play. Children are confident communicators who clearly express their needs. They gain a good range of skills and behaviours in readiness for school.
