It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps her knowledge of local safeguarding procedures up to date. She knows the signs that would cause her concern about a child's welfare and the processes to follow. This helps keep children safe from harm. The childminder accesses a range of training to help improve her skills. For example, she has increased the resources for young children to enjoy playing with natural materials to broaden their sensory play opportunities. The childminder evaluates her provision well, and regularly reviews her procedures and policies, to improve her service. She encourages parents to comment on their children's assessments. This helps her identify any gaps in their development early and strengthen her planning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and identifies their individual learning styles effectively through her ongoing observations. She helps children to make progress and develop the skills needed for starting school. The childminder shares ideas with parents to extend learning in the home. She helps babies and children to express themselves. For example, while they play with interactive resources, she extends their communication and language skills effectively. Babies enjoy playing with interactive toys, such as pressing buttons as they listen to their favourite songs. The childminder builds on children's developing understanding while they play, such as their recognition of colours. For example, she encourages children to name the colours of all the construction blocks as they build towers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms strong bonds with children to help them feel secure. Children develop a positive sense of self and a good sense of belonging. The environment is well organised, child-friendly and welcoming. This gives children opportunities to develop independence and confidence to make choices about what they wish to do or play with. The childminder is a good role model for children. She teaches children from a very young age about how to respect their environment and others around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated and develop independence quickly. They are well prepared for the next stages in their development. For example, children and babies display good levels of confidence. They enjoy developing their imaginary play and concentrate on activities for long periods.
