p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not evaluate her practice sharply enough. She does not use self- evaluation to help her identify the targets and raise further the good standards of teaching.  Although the childminder offers children outdoor experiences, these are not as effectively planned as those indoors to take into account the needs of children who prefer to learn outdoors.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of child protection issues. She has completed safeguarding training and knows the signs that may indicate a child is at risk. She understands the procedure to follow if there is a concern about a child in her care. The childminder completes regular risk assessment to help ensure the children are safe. She holds a current paediatric first-aid qualification and is clear about procedures to follow if a child has an accident. The childminder recognises the importance of training and her professional development. She has completed all the necessary training and meets up with other childminders to discuss childcare issues and current early years practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is committed to her role. She knows the children well and understands that children learn through play. She interacts purposefully with children and plans activities indoors which excite and motivate children to learn. The childminder enthusiastically joins in with children's play and enthuses them through her teaching. She helps children to develop their communication and language well. For example, she speaks slowly and uses words in simple sentences to help young children understand what she means. The childminder repeats words back to very young children and extends their vocabulary, naming objects, such as different animals. Children enjoy using their small- muscle skills as they build with blocks and press buttons on toys. They are fascinated by the sound and the flashing lights.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gathers information from parents to support children's health and care routines. Children are confident and comfortable in their surroundings. The childminder teaches children good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before eating. She promotes healthy lifestyles and encourages children to eat healthy foods, such as fruit and vegetables. Children benefit from regular opportunities with the childminder to go on outings, for walks and to visit parks. This helps to promote their physical development well. The childminder also, takes children into the community and to toddler groups to help them mix with other children. Children are learning to respect each other and share.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are progressing well in relation to their starting points. Toddlers are being well prepared for the next stage in their learning journey, such as starting pre-school. Young children enjoy stories and look enthusiastically at the pictures and characters. They independently access play resources and confidently experiment, develop their own ideas and enjoy socialising with other children.
