It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasion, babies and toddlers spend long periods in pushchairs where they do not have the room to stretch and move as they sleep.  The childminder's knowledge and skills in developing early vocalisations are not specific enough to enhance the rate that babies confidently use their first words and phrases.

 The inspector observed babies and toddlers eat and play in the childminder's home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is a highly qualified and experienced secondary school teacher. She manages the transfer of children between her setting and their school safely and smoothly. The childminder knows how many children she is allowed to care for in different age groups and abides by regulations. She makes thorough risk assessments of the areas where children play and uses self-evaluation effectively to identify areas for improvement. For example, she is considering ways to make the front access better suited to the needs of the youngest children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to recognise and respond appropriately to child protection concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works well with parents and gathers information about children's interests and achievements when they start. She uses observations and good-quality assessments to monitor children's progress and agree next steps in their learning with their parents. For example, babies play with a wide range of toys and materials and make good progress in all aspects of their physical development. Older children see and take an interest in the many different ways the childminder helps them to access written text around her house and playrooms. The childminder shows a superb commitment to her own training and professional development. This is helping her to adapt her teaching to much younger children and strengthening the quality of their learning experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is particularly good for their ages. The childminder shares her clear expectations and rationale for house rules and road safety with children kindly. Children learn to take increasing levels of responsibility for their own needs and when working in a team. There is a very happy and homely atmosphere. Every age group of children easily accesses toys and equipment designed to engage their individual interests and challenge their thinking. The childminder cooks a diverse range of nutritious meals for the children and helps them to make healthy choices. Toddlers soon learn to feed themselves more independently and older children develop good table manners and conversational skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are making good progress in their learning. Babies develop very good social skills. Toddlers mix with other children confidently during activities in the community and at pre-school. Older children's literacy and mathematical skills are developing well through a variety of opportunities to read, write and solve problems as they play. They are very well prepared for school and the next stage in their learning. For instance, children engage in imaginative play and work cooperatively together. They explore the childminder's vast range of books and take an interest in investigating new subjects.
