p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the childminder misses opportunities during purposeful planned activities to fully extend and enhance children's identified next steps in their learning.  Sometimes, the childminder is over enthusiastic in her teaching and does not give children enough time to think and respond to her questions.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of her role and responsibility to protect children. She is familiar with wider safeguarding issues, such as children being exposed to extreme views and ideas. She is very clear about what procedures she must follow to protect children and promote their safety and welfare. Children are closely supervised. The childminder reflects well on the service she provides. She actively seeks the views of parents and children to identify areas for improvements. The childminder uses various training methods to improve her practice. She implements her new skills and knowledge effectively to improve the outcomes for the children. All the required records are maintained successfully and she implements her policies effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is well-qualified. Overall, she monitors and tracks children's progress effectively. The childminder provides a wide range of learning opportunities inside and outside to support children's interests and for their continued learning. There is a good balance of child-initiated and adult-led play. For example, children make their own choices and enjoy playing imaginatively with small-world characters and houses. The childminder purposefully extends children's literacy and communication skills further. She reads them a book and encourages them to talk about the fruit and characters they see in the story. Children continue to show their enjoyment of stories. They select their own books to look at independently as well as ask the childminder to read more stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder makes the most of local resources and play sessions to support and develop children's social skills with those who are of a similar age. Also, she provides opportunities for children to enhance their physical skills. She takes them to the local park to try more challenging climbing equipment. Children's health is promoted well. They are familiar with personal hygiene routines that stop germs from spreading. For example, children know to wipe their own noses and dispose of used tissues quickly. Furthermore, they know to wash their hands ready for their snack or after using the toilet. Children behave well and respond positively to the childminder's praise and encouragement. They also play cooperatively as well as share toys and take turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children show curiosity and enjoy exploring the good range of toys. Children's mathematical sills are developing well. They count how many grapes they have on their plate. They enjoy problem solving, such as building a train track and fitting the correct pieces together. Children show respect for belongings and help tidy away the toys before they have their healthy snack and lunch. Children learn to be independent in their self- care. They put on their own coats, hats and gloves. Children try more challenging activities, such as attempting to independently pull up their zips on their coats and safely use tools to cut up fresh fruit.
