It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not gather enough in-depth information from parents when children first start about what they already know and can do.  The childminder has not fully considered ways to review her ongoing professional development and help raise the good-quality teaching to an even higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a thorough understanding of local safeguarding procedures and the steps to take to protect children. She displays important information about local procedures so that she can respond quickly to any concerns about children's welfare. The childminder has detailed policies and procedures in place to help keep children safe from harm. She carries out regular risk assessments within the home and on outings. These help her to minimise risk, further helping to keep children safe. The childminder teaches children to take care of their environment and recognise hazards for themselves. Children's progress is effectively monitored by the well-qualified childminder. She regularly discusses children's development with parents. This helps to ensure continuity of care and learning for all children. The childminder liaises with other childminders to discuss practice and keep abreast of changes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to successfully support children's progress. She uses the information from her observations successfully to plan for the children's next stage in learning. She adapts activities children are engaged in to support their emerging interests and extend their learning. This motivates children and helps them to make good progress. The childminder uses clear and simple speech to support children learning to talk. She offers a commentary when they play and helps them to hear new words. Children are encouraged to use their senses to explore what items feel and smell like. For example, children use a variety of tools to make their own collage. This helps develop their fine-motor skills and confidence to explore textures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder effectively fosters children's emotional and physical well-being. Children show a close attachment with her. They enjoy relationships that are warm and supportive. The childminder offers consistent praise and encouragement to children, which help to support their confidence and self-esteem. Children make choices about their play, which supports their independence. The childminder demonstrates good manners and supports children to learn social skills, such as sharing. Children learn about healthy lifestyles and have regular access to physical exercise in the garden or on outings in the local environment. The childminder helps children learn how to keep themselves safe through daily routines and activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make very good progress from their individual starting points. They develop good relationships with the childminder. They learn to value and respect the feelings and opinions of others when meeting other childminders and their children. They are prepared well for their eventual move on to school. Children are curious and keen to explore, and show an enjoyment of learning. They develop age-appropriate independence and can communicate their wants and needs.
