p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has made good improvements since the last inspection. He uses self- evaluation well to identify areas for improvement in the provision and has clear goals in place to work towards, which has helped him to improve outcomes for children.  The childminder develops strong relationships with parents, who are highly complimentary of the service provided by him and his co-childminder. Parents describe how they provide a safe, happy environment for children to develop. There is an effective two-way flow of information with parents to aid children's care and learning.  The childminder has rules and boundaries in his home and promotes these consistently through daily routines, such as sharing and taking turns, and sitting at the table to eat. Children behave well and are respectful of the childminder and their friends.  The childminder supports children to learn about their own community and the wider

world. Children visit parks, children's centres and shops daily with the childminder and benefit from physical exercise. They learn about people each other's differences.  Children make good progress from their personal starting points and achieve well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always make the best possible use of information gathered from tracking children's individual development, to fully support them to make rapid progress in their learning.  Occasionally, the childminder misses opportunities to expand further on children's awareness of why it is important to follow a healthy diet.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder's teaching and its impact on children's learning.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector sampled the childminder's planning documents, and discussed children's individual learning and development.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder about his self-evaluation processes.  The inspector sampled the childminder's policies and procedures, including those relating to safeguarding.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures. He knows how to contact the relevant professionals should he have a concern about children's welfare. The childminder completes daily risk assessments to help him identify and effectively manage any potential risks. He regularly completes training to help continue to enhance his knowledge and skills. He has recently improved his knowledge of how to provide exciting science activities for young children. For example, children have experimented with ingredients to form a reaction to make a paper rocket race along strings. The childminder works effectively with his co-childminder. They review their work and make improvements. For example, since the last inspection, the childminder has developed the range of resources for older children's literacy development and expanded the resources to enable children to learn about those in the

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder places a strong emphasis on promoting children's communication and language skills. For instance, he consistently talks to them and provides a commentary to their actions, enabling them to make clear links. The childminder provides a learning environment that effectively meets the needs of children of different ages. Children are enthusiastic and motivated in their play and the craft activities that the childminder provides. They thoroughly enjoy making collages with different textured materials and making marks with different coloured pens. The childminder supports children's understanding of number and positional language well. For example, young children identify numbers on a toy telephone and older children learn more complex numbers as they identify the number 12 on a clock while discussing it is time for lunch.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder teaches children about road safety to support their learning about keeping safe further. He encourages children to build confidence in their own abilities, such as providing them with positive praise and encouragement. Children display good manners, and are polite and considerate to one another. The childminder sets a very good example for the children to learn from and calmly attends to any behaviour issues that may arise respectfully and fairly. The childminder takes children daily to a range of activities outside the home, including the park, local children's groups and the shops.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are inquisitive and motivated individuals who make good progress in their learning, given their starting points. They develop good social skills and are well prepared for their eventual move to school. Children are independent learners who confidently self- select equipment. For example, younger children choose to build with blocks and squeal with excitement as their towers fall to the ground, and older children concentrate for long periods as they independently complete challenging puzzles.
