make good progress and are confident communicators.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not make the most from comprehensive information obtained through monitoring of children's progress to rapidly address what children need to learn next through targeted teaching.  Self-evaluation procedures are not yet fully established to reflect the views of all parents or identify focused areas to develop to drive improvements and enhance the already good-quality of service even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has completed child protection training. He has secure knowledge of his responsibilities relating to safeguarding. He knows how to recognise signs that indicate a child may be a risk from harm. Systems are in place to swiftly record and report safeguarding concerns. This helps to promote children's welfare. The childminder works closely with his wife, who is also a registered childminder. They regularly discuss ideas and share responsibilities. Consequently, children experience a quality service where their needs are quickly met through good teamwork.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder's home is equipped with good-quality resources. The environment is well organised to support children's all round learning. For instance, when children arrive, they are presented with interestingly displayed games to immediately explore. Children remain continually engaged in a programme of thoughtfully planned and exciting activities. Children who attend more than one early years setting are well supported in their learning. The childminder carefully links activities to those delivered elsewhere. Children's learning is enhanced and children make good progress. The childminder knows children in his care well. He has high expectations of children and routinely extends learning. For instance, children are challenged to manoeuvre bicycles by pushing their feet. Children are further challenged to travel on bicycles using pedals. Children develop perseverance, concentration and physical coordination.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's independence is given the highest priority. Children are extremely self-assured and they consistently complete tasks for themselves. Teaching extends children's personal self-care skills at every opportunity. For instance, children retrieve their own coats prior to going outdoors. They are encouraged to put their coats on and complete zips independently. They respectfully tidy away their toys prior to playing elsewhere. Children flourish in their confidence and independence. They are supported by superb child-centred routines. Children are encouraged to take safe risks, while closely supervised by an attentive childminder. For instance, children travel on tricycles with increasing speed down slight sloping pathways. This helps to build children's excellent physical confidence and high levels of self-esteem, in safe stimulating circumstances. Children's health and well- being is excellent.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They develop positive attitudes to their play and are well prepared for their future learning and the eventual move on to school. Children are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They understand instructions and communicate their wishes and opinions with confidence. Children develop good physical skills. Children run, jump and navigate obstacles with ease.
