positive about the care their children receive.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n build on the practice of self-evaluation to identify areas precisely for continuous improvement and target these, to help raise the quality of practice and outcomes for children to an outstanding level n strengthen partnerships with parents to help them engage in their children's learning and development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of child protection issues and understands her role and responsibility to safeguard children. She knows how to keep children safe and minimise risks in the home and on outings. The childminder keeps her safeguarding knowledge and practice updated. For example, she has broadened her understanding of wider safeguarding issues, such as protecting children from extreme views. The childminder monitors her practice to help her make improvements but does not focus enough on raising the quality of teaching even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches children very well about the natural world. For example, while investigating the resources the children collected on a walk, she teaches them about the changing seasons and they look at the different colours of the leaves. Children are happily engaged in play for long periods. The childminder role models play well and encourages children to work things out for themselves, for instance, they persevere as they use the tweezers to pick up the small acorns and conkers. She asks appropriate questions and encourages children to talk about what they are doing. The childminder uses every opportunity to include discussions about numbers and counting, as children play and follow daily routines.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder is kind, warm and caring. She is an excellent role model for the children and encourages positive behaviour. The childminder is highly effective in teaching children to identify hazards in their play and to keep themselves safe from an early age. Children settle quickly and have superb relationships with her and each other. Children are extremely kind and considerate. They readily tidy up after activities and enjoy the responsibility of setting the table. They learn to interact socially as they sit happily to eat their snack. Children learn precise coordination skills, for example, as they butter their own crumpets and chop their banana into pieces. Children are exceptionally well supported to be emotionally ready for their next stage in development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They are enthusiastic learners and are eager to become involved in activities, for example, developing their early literacy skills as they follow the text with their fingers and point to familiar objects within a book. Children are well prepared for their future learning, including their move on to nursery and school.
