p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not make the most of gaining in-depth information from parents about what they know their children can do on entry and on a continual basis, to aid her assessments of children and continually challenge them at a higher level.  Evaluation of the childminder's provision does not take enough account of the views of parents and children to help her identify further areas for improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The qualified childminder has a sound knowledge of the signs and symptoms that may cause her concern. She has a detailed policy to follow to make a referral about children's welfare. The childminder has completed safeguarding training and attends regular local safeguarding and inclusion meetings. She understands about sharing information between settings children also attend to support continuity in their learning experiences. The childminder is enthusiastic and dedicated. Overall, she reflects well on her practice with a view to continually developing her service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder offers enjoyable activities to help children to master the next steps in their learning. Children excitedly help the childminder set up the toy farm. For example, they line up and categorise small-world animals. The childminder models effectively to support her explanations, supporting children's understanding. For example, she says the animal name and demonstrates the sounds they make. This promotes children's listening and attention skills. The childminder supports children to develop their understanding of number. For example, she counts the different types of toy animals they find and encourages children to point along with her. The childminder assesses the progress children make and identifies any gaps in their learning. This helps her to plan activities that help ensure all children make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from effective settling-in arrangements with their parents in the childminder's home. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure with the childminder. Overall, this promotes a positive partnership with parents. Children thoroughly enjoy playing in the garden. They run around and are keen to try the wide variety of activities on offer. For example, children push toy vehicles about and fill them with soil and leaves. This promotes their physical development and inspires their investigative skills. Children learn good hygiene routines, eat healthily and have sufficient rest times. The childminder supports older children to be independent in managing their personal care routines. Children play together cooperatively and show they care about each other.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the key skills needed for the next stage in their learning. They are inquisitive, show curiosity and are willing to have a go. Children learn to listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Younger children repeat words heard, supporting their communication skills. They enjoy good relationships. Older children are encouraged to practise the skills they will need for the transition to school. For example, they are delighted to share their learning experiences, this helps them to become confident individuals.
