The provision is good

have an overview of the areas children are developing in and what they like to do. n The childminder provides a warm and stimulating environment for children to explore. Children are confident and are learning key skills in preparation for their eventual move to school.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder does not consistently recognise areas of improvement in his practice to enable him to develop his service to a higher standard more swiftly. n The childminder does not always help children understand suitable risks in their environment such as, tidying up toys to maintain a clear space for them to play in.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder can identify signs and symptoms of abuse and understands his responsibility in reporting any child protection concerns should they arise. The childminder provides a secure environment for children. Regular visits to play and childminding groups give him opportunities to share practice with other professionals and gain new skills. In addition, children have the chance to socialise with new people and become aware of the similarities and differences in their community. The childminder evaluates his setting and adapts the environment to suit the changing needs of children and their families. For example, separate spaces have been created for babies and older children to ensure they can independently explore their surroundings and access resources suitable for their ages and stages in development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children develop good communication skills. They are encouraged to repeat words clearly and join in with songs and stories. For example, the childminder reads a rhyming story and children attempt to join in with repeated sounds. Younger children listen with interest and point to the images in the book. The childminder adapts his teaching methods throughout play to suit the needs and interests of children. He identifies next steps in children's development in all areas of learning. Detailed monitoring shows children make good, all-round progress from their starting points. The childminder motivates children to have a go at tasks for themselves and make their own choices during play. This supports children's independence.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers a wide range of resources indoors and outdoors. Children regularly exercise and explore the outdoor area and gain an awareness of healthy lifestyles. In addition, children pick apples from the tree and discuss nutritious food at mealtimes. Children's behaviour is good. The childminder is a positive role model and children are learning to respect boundaries and each other. They understand how their actions can impact on others' feelings. Children are happy and confident in their surroundings and can express their needs and wishes. They are caring towards each other and seek comfort from the childminder when required.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children use their imaginations and retell stories during play. For example, children sing 'Hickory Dickory Dock' while moving toys up and down the play car garage tower. Older children willingly take turns during games and activities, such as when waiting to choose a song to sing. Babies are learning to socialise and gain control of their movements and senses when holding and shaking various objects. Children are polite and know what is expected of them. They are proud of their achievements and have high self-esteem.
