It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder misses some opportunities to encourage children to use their home languages to further develop their learning experiences.  The tracking of children's progress is not consistently as sharply focused as possible to support the childminder to target teaching precisely.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has recently updated her child protection knowledge. She knows the signs that would cause her concern about a child's welfare and understands what steps to take. The childminder demonstrates a strong commitment to making improvements. She completes training and reads relevant publications to help strengthen her service. For example, she has developed her understanding of expectations of children's behaviour and supports them to behave well. The childminder works closely with her assistant and shares her knowledge and information from training courses to ensure a consistent approach. The childminder maintains the required paperwork to help protect children's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are confident speakers. The childminder continually talks to them and helps develop their communication skills. For example, she uses descriptive words to help increase their vocabulary. The childminder ask questions and encourages children to explore and investigate further. For example, during a modelling dough activity, she asks them about the colours and shapes they use. Children thoroughly enjoy imaginative play. For example, they have fun pretending to make tea for the childminder and their friends. They explore how things work and why, for instance, as they manoeuvre cars up and down slopes on the toy garage. The childminder recognises the importance of working with other settings and professionals who are involved in children's are and learning, when the need arises.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a welcoming and nurturing environment. Children behave very well for their age. They understand what is expected of them, show kindness, share and help tidy toys. The childminder helps children learn to respect others. For example, they celebrate different events throughout the year to learn about beliefs other than their own. Children are developing healthy lifestyles. For example, they develop physical skills during trips to the park. They learn about healthy food as they enjoy healthy meals and study posters of fruit.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning. They enjoy their time with the childminder. Children are confident and motivated to learn. They explore their environment and make decisions in their play. They join in enthusiastically at story time and verbalise their ideas and observations. They are able to recognise shapes and colours well. Children are quickly acquiring skills in readiness for the next stage in their learning and eventual move to school.
