p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not focus on her professional development effectively to extend her knowledge and further enhance the quality of teaching and range of activities.  Although the childminder shares information with parents regularly, so they are aware of their children's progress, she does not consistently encourage them to support their children's learning and development at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of her role. She maintains a safe and secure environment for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is up to date with new legislation and is confident in the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder observes and assesses children's learning effectively and tracks their development closely. Positive comments from parents show how well the childminder works in close partnership with them, especially to help their children settle and engage in learning. Self-evaluation is effective. The childminder has an ongoing process involving parents and plans for improvement are well targeted and achievable.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has robust observation and assessment systems in place. Thorough and regular tracking of children's stages of development help her to have a clear picture of individual children's progress. Consequently, she is able to quickly identify gaps in their learning. She implements strategies to close these gaps promptly. These help her to ensure that all children make good progress in their learning. The childminder delivers activities and experiences to promote children's learning and is skilled at adapting these in accordance with children's age and stage of development. For example, she encourages children to paint with their hands and brushes. She offers a constant narrative and builds on children's existing vocabulary while introducing new words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are extremely settled and happy. The childminder offers very supportive settling- in visits and builds strong partnerships with parents. The childminder provides a secure and welcoming environment for children. She follows children's already established routines for sleep and comfort, supporting their security and move into her home. The childminder supports children's emotional understanding effectively. She uses feeling words to support the children's growing personal and emotional understanding well and in context. For example, she praises children for showing affection towards one another and reminds children to be kind. This helps children to consider how their behaviour affects others, effectively extending their personal, social and emotional development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and are developing well. They show an interest in their surroundings and become absorbed and engaged in their play. Children develop their bilingual speaking and listening skills well and have a strong interest in reading. For example, they enjoy contributing to stories by mimicking animal sounds when prompted by the childminder. Children are developing skills that will help them as they move to the next stage in their learning. This is because the childminder is skilful at identifying and supporting any gaps in children's learning.
