p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 The childminder does not hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate.  The childminder's professional development programme is not focused on updating his skills or on raising the level of teaching to an outstanding level.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Partnerships with parents are good. Parents provide information about children's development and abilities when they enter the setting and are fully involved in their ongoing progress and learning.  The childminder fully considers what children enjoy and the possible learning potential, when planning a range of fun and interesting activities. He skilfully enhances children's individual learning needs through spontaneous play. Consequently, children make good progress.  Children develop warm relationships with the childminder and are happy and secure in his care. They receive regular praise for their efforts, boosting their self-esteem and supporting their emotional well-being.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder's plans for his professional development are not focused enough on ensuring that his skills are up to date or to enable him to raise his level of teaching to a higher standard. Also, the childminder has not maintained a current first-aid certificate. However, this does not significantly affect the children in his care as he does have sufficient knowledge and understanding about how to manage accidents, should they occur. In addition, his co-childminder has a current first-aid certificate to enable her to attend to children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands the local safeguarding procedures and how to report his concerns. The childminder assesses his practice alongside his co-childminder and takes into consideration the views of parents and children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder understands how children learn through play and, alongside his co- childminder, he routinely observes their development. He uses this information to plan activities that meet their individual needs. The childminder knows the children well and is aware of their likes and interests. He provides a varied range of toys and resources that is appropriate for the age of the children attending. The childminder organises the play space well, enabling children to choose what they want to do. This promotes their confidence and independence. The childminder enhances children's language skills well. For example, he repeats words and phrases back to children in the correct form.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not have a current paediatric first-aid certificate, although this does not significantly impact on children's welfare. Children learn about healthy lifestyles and how to keep themselves safe effectively through routines and activities. They benefit from exercise in the outdoors and learn how to manage risks as they confidently climb the slide. Children enjoy healthy balanced meals and learn about food that is good for them. They practise self-care skills as they brush their teeth after lunch.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop key skills from a young age that prepare them well for moving on to nursery and school. They develop an interest in books and use a variety of tools to make marks on paper, helping develop skills for early writing. They learn to recognise shapes as they play with the cutters and dough that they have helped the childminder to make. Children learn about numbers and how to count when they climb the steps of the slide or when bowling a ball at the skittles. Children are learning to concentrate, listen well and follow instructions throughout the day.
