p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is professional and organised in his approach to childminding. He gives good consideration to the systems that he uses, so that they are clear and purposeful. For example, he has devised a simple and effective system to record and monitor children's learning and development.  The childminder provides highly effective support for children's communication and language skills. He provides a useful narrative during play and carefully introduces new words. He repeats and emphasises certain words and phrases without interrupting the flow of the activity. He carefully considers when to ask questions which support children's understanding.  The childminder provides good quality interaction to support children's learning. He fully immerses himself in children's self-initiated play and encourages them to take the lead. He makes play fun and children thoroughly enjoy the time they spend with him.

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder promotes children's safety effectively. He ensures that children are supervised at all times, while encouraging them to develop independence, for example with their self-care skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always establish what difference his identified areas for improvement will have on children's development, or specifically how he is going to achieve them.  The childminder has not yet fully developed partnership working with other settings that children attend to promote a consistent approach to supporting children's learning and development.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector discussed the planning of activities with the childminder.  The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of adults living on the premises.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as the childminder's self- evaluation and evidence of training.  The inspector took account of the views of parents and carers gathered through the childminder's recent questionnaire.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has recently completed different training events in safeguarding issues to ensure his knowledge is up to date. As a result, he is confident in recognising any possible concerns and knows how to report them to ensure children's safety and well-being is promoted. The childminder regularly checks on children's progress to ensure there is a clear focus on narrowing any gaps in learning. The childminder is very receptive to feedback about his practice and demonstrates a strong capacity to improve. Recent feedback from parents and carers about the childminder is very positive. They all express how happy they are with the care their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder clearly demonstrates that he understands how to support children's learning and development. He makes good quality observations of learning to evidence children's achievements. He prioritises where children need support and focuses his planning and interactions on this to help children move forward in their learning. Adult-led activities are well planned and delivered. The childminder effectively coordinates support for children who speak English as an additional language. He learns phrases in children's home language that he uses to reassure and settle them. He also translates a broad range of words into children's home language, so that he can effectively support children when they are first learning English. The childminder has developed very good partnerships with parents and carers. He gathers useful information about children's stage of development when they first start. He regularly updates parents and carers on children's achievements

and gathers useful contributions of learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a good relationship with the childminder. They value him as a friend to play with and enjoy spending time with him. He is very encouraging in helping children to become successful learners. The childminder provides appropriate support which helps children to prepare themselves when they are due to start nursery or school. He helps children to develop an understanding of good health. For example, he reminds them why they need to wash their hands. The childminder encourages children to be physically active. He engages them in games in the garden and helps them to complete challenges, for example, moving under or through the equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and are acquiring the skills needed to support their future learning. Children display good focus and concentration during activities. They listen carefully and follow instructions. They remember and repeat new skills, for example, folding and turning dough as they knead it. They enjoy trying new activities and show enthusiasm for learning.
