 The inspector spoke with the childminder, co-childminder, some children and parents during the inspection.  The inspector sampled a range of documents available, including those relating to the premises and safeguarding.  The inspector observed activities and daily routines.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a thorough knowledge and understanding of all child protection matters. He knows what correct procedures to follow to keep children safe from harm at all times. The childminder effectively monitors children's development and promptly acts to address any weaknesses identified. The childminder is committed to providing high quality care and regularly evaluates and reviews his work to maintain a good quality provision. For example, he updates his knowledge in the early years sector through various local resources and works closely with the local authority advisors to ensure consistent improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children happily engage in an interesting range of activities that the childminder is able to adapt to their learning needs and interests. For example, babies, who cannot walk, enjoy activities in the play pool with the balls, which helps them to build body strength and develop muscles when throwing the balls out. Activities like this also help babies to develop their social skills and build closer relationships with the childminder and each other. Moreover, the childminder skilfully develops babies’ communication and language skills during such activities. For example, he comments on the actions, asks questions and introduces new words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a welcoming environment. He carries out effective risk assessments to ensure it is safe for children. The childminder is a good role model to children and constantly praises them to boost their confidence and self-esteem. He encourages children to become independent from an early age. Children have good opportunities to learn about diversity in the community and regularly go outside with the childminder. Children benefit from freshly prepared nutritious meals and follow good hygiene routines to support their healthy lifestyle.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. They gain the key skills needed for their next stages in learning, and eventual move to school. For example, older children learn to count and to recognise their names, follow instructions and concentrate. Children are active learners and develop a strong sense of achievement.
