p.1

This provision is good

 The well-qualified childminder has a good understanding of how children play, learn and develop, overall. He provides a wide range of activities that children can access independently and enjoy. Children make good progress in their learning.  Children behave well. The childminder provides gentle age-appropriate reminders to help children learn about behaviour expectations.  Partnerships with parents are effective. The childminder establishes good relationships with parents from the start. He shares daily information with them about their children's care and well-being.  The childminder is caring and supportive and children demonstrate secure and trusting relationships with him.  The childminder evaluates his provision well. He requests written feedback from parents and children and reflects on this as part of his self-evaluation process. He uses this information well to set priorities for improvement to raise outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the childminder maintains his professional development well, at times he does not target this more specifically to help him provide outstanding outcomes for children's learning.  At times, the childminder does not recognise when to adapt his teaching to help extend children's learning even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to seek advice and the correct procedures to follow if he has concerns regarding a child's welfare. The childminder regularly observes children's learning and assesses their development closely. He quickly spots any gaps in children's learning and offers further support. The childminder works effectively with other professionals involved in children's care. All children benefit from good continuity of care and learning. Parents comment positively about the provision, the bond their children have with the childminder and how pleased they are with their children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of how young children learn through play. He uses the information he gathers about what they already know and can do, and he builds on this effectively. The childminder provides activities children enjoy to help them engage well with their play. He plays alongside them to guide their learning and interacts with enthusiasm. Children learn new skills, such as using a knife and other simple tools. He helps teach children to operate simple technology as they learn about the wider world. Babies press buttons on toys and show delight and fascination at what happens next. Older children have fun making different sounds with the musical instruments. They enjoy singing songs to the sounds they make. Babies have fun looking at their reflections in the mirror. They smile and make funny faces as they crawl away and then look back to make sure they can still see themselves in the mirror.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel happy and secure in the childminder's company. For example, they go to him for hugs when they want. The childminder encourages children's good health successfully. Children learn the importance of healthy foods, drinks and good hygiene. Children have many opportunities to be physically active and spend time outdoors in the fresh air. The childminder helps babies to strengthen their legs ready for walking and encourages their coordination. Children spend time in the childminder's garden and regularly go on outings in the community. These outings help children to learn to interact in different situations and develop positive attitudes towards the wider community. The childminder helps children to recognise potential dangers and teaches them how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop positive attitudes to learning and maintain their concentration well. Babies are keen to explore their environment and older children use mathematical language during shop role play. Children demonstrate a love of books and handle these well. They are confident and independent. For example, babies learn to feed themselves. Children develop key skills and attitudes in readiness for their future learning, including their move on to school.
