p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not consider fully all learning opportunities during activities, in particular to challenge children even further and enhance their learning experiences.  The childminder does not gather enough information from parents about their children's early achievements to inform her plans for children's learning from the outset.

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to help keep children safe. She understands her duties in supporting children's welfare, and knows how to report any concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm. The childminder evaluates the quality of the setting effectively. She reflects well on the service she provides, identifying her setting's strengths and any areas that need improvement. She works well with others, such as local childminders, to help improve children's experiences and outcomes. For instance, they share advice during children's centre drop- in sessions to help her maintain good teaching levels.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children excitedly play in a welcoming, stimulating environment. They enjoy creative experiences, such as painting pictures and exploring the different tools they can use to make marks. They learn to use equipment with good control, such as stamps, and learn about the shapes the different objects make. Overall, the childminder supports children's learning well. For instance, she uses questions to help them share their ideas and what they know, to encourage their enjoyment and involvement. The childminder successfully supports children's imaginative play, such as through role-play activities, joining in with them and developing their creative thinking. The childminder checks on children's development regularly and knows the children well. She observes what children can do and generally uses this information well to plan age-appropriate experiences.

of information to help support children's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children well to develop an understanding of following good hygiene practices. For instance, she teaches them to wash their hands before eating. Children eat nutritious foods, are active and enjoy outings, such as to the local park, to develop their physical skills and well-being. The childminder successfully supports children's independence skills during routines. For example, she encourages children to clear away their things after eating and helps them to behave responsibly. The childminder regularly assesses risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. Children communicate clearly and listen attentively. They develop good social skills, such as interacting with others confidently. They develop good early reading skills, such as learning which way to turn the pages in a book and how to use the pictures to help them tell a story.
