They greatly value the service that she provides.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Self-evaluation processes that help to identify clear priorities for further development with the involvement of parents are not fully established. n Communication with other settings that children attend or will move to is not fully effective in supporting continuity of their care and learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder takes effective steps to enhance and update her safeguarding knowledge. She knows how to recognise potential risks to children and what action to take if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She uses her good links with other practitioners to keep up to date with changes in legislation and amends her procedures when necessary. The childminder completes training that helps her to promote children's safety and health and implements policies well to support her wider safeguarding practice. For example, written risk assessments are completed for her home and when taking children on frequent outings. These help to ensure children's safety and welfare. The childminder works very well with other professionals who may be involved in children's care and development. For example, she uses their information and advice effectively to plan targeted activities aimed at closing gaps in children's

learning. Children progress well from their starting points.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder builds well on what children already know and can do. She supports children to develop good communication skills. For example, she uses sign language to support their understanding as they complete favourite puzzles from home. The childminder makes accurate assessments of children. She implements strategies that successfully address gaps in children's development, such as activities to further develop muscle tone and strength. She encourages children to develop an understanding of mathematics, for instance, she counts as they place items inside containers. The childminder plans a wide range of learning opportunities for children. She uses outings, such as child-friendly music sessions in famous buildings, to help broaden their experiences and understanding of the wider world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder builds close relationships with children and knows them well. She provides very good personal care and meets their individual needs well with the close involvement of parents. She modifies the food offered to children, for example, to take account of their individual eating habits and feeding needs. The childminder uses her training effectively, for instance, to enhance her awareness of fire safety and infection control. This helps to further protect children's welfare. The childminder helps children to develop good hygiene habits and self-care skills, for instance, she encourages them to wash their hands after they help to make dough. The childminder is a very good role model for children who behave well and consider the needs of others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Toddlers count as they place dough balls in containers. They use their imaginations well, for example, as they place sieves on their heads and pretend to wear hats. Children develop the small hand muscles they need to make marks or write as they squeeze, press and manipulate dough. They gain confidence and develop good social skills as they meet friends at a playgroup. All children, including those who need extra help with their learning, develop the skills they need for their next stage in learning.
