p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder's observations and planning are not as precise as possible to help her support children as well as she can to make even further progress.  The childminder sometimes misses opportunities to ask questions of younger children that challenge their thinking and help them to extend their own ideas further.

She risk assesses appropriately, including when transporting children and taking them on outings.

consistent approach to their care, teaching and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified childminder uses fun and effective teaching to help children extend and build on their current skills. She interacts well with children. The childminder provides rich opportunities which motivate children to explore. For example, children have fun investigating in the shredded paper to find hidden objects. They enjoy throwing the paper in the air and catching it and they laugh as they bury themselves in the paper and play peek-a-boo. Children have fun chasing bubbles in the garden and trying to pop them before they blow away. They show excitement during social activities, such as singing and dancing. Children play with interactive toys, they push the buttons and roll the ball down the shoot and they giggle as it lights up and plays a tune.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children to lead a healthy lifestyle. Children go outdoors every day in the garden and on walks in the local area. Additionally, children are provided with healthy and nutritious meals and snacks. Children are developing good social skills and the confidence to do things for themselves. For example, feeding themselves and tidying away toys. They enjoy riding in cars and taking the dolls for a walk in the pushchair outdoors. Children take turns with the toys and push each other round the garden in the cars. They are excited as they watch the guinea pigs running round in their house.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children actively explore their surroundings. They become confident to join in the interesting activities and to 'have a go'. Children develop a keen interest in books. They join in with familiar phrases and repeated verse. The childminder extends children's mathematical skills well. For example, she helps them to count and recognise colours and shapes. Children develop skills that prepare them well for their next stage in learning, including starting school.
