p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder maintains comprehensive policies and procedures, which she shares with all parents during their induction. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder looks after children very well. She has good understanding of signs and symptoms of abuse and is clear about the procedures to follow if she is concerned about a child. The childminder practises the fire evacuation with children, this helps them understand how to respond to the sound of the alarm. Risk assessments ensure the home is safe and suitable and the childminder has robust systems in place for checking the premises and equipment to keep children safe. The childminder attends appropriate training for her role. This is helping her develop a range of expertise, which helps enhance her skills even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are well supported during their play. The childminder gives them time to lead their own play and interests. She observes carefully and adds extension, which helps them make good developmental progress. The childminder gets to know the children and understands their individual needs and interests. The childminder ensures there are some activities set up for when children arrive, this helps them settle in quickly. Children show good concentration as they play. For example, children engage well in a dough activity. They work together and pay close attention to what they are doing. During the activity children engage in conversation with the childminder, discussing their ideas as they make a range of shapes with tools. This activity helps to develop children's creativity and physical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. They are confident and happy and enjoy socialising. The childminder encourages children to be independent and gives them plenty of opportunities to practise new skills to develop their self-care. For example, putting their coats and shoes on and cleaning up after themselves when they have finished eating. The childminder collects the children from their classrooms at the end of the school day and obtains some information from class teachers to feed back to parents. Children's good health is encouraged well. They have healthy snacks. While sat at the snack table children talk to one another and the childminder, which helps to develop their personal, social, communication and language skills. Children have opportunities every day to play actively outdoors and they particularly enjoy playing football.
