p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder actively promotes equality and diversity. For example, children learn about the wider world during visits to central London and museums to develop their understanding of different cultures and British history. n The childminder has high expectations for all children. He knows children well and understands how they learn and develop. Young children are engaged and motivated to achieve. For instance, young children confidently choose their favourite books and read stories. The childminder encourages them to develop their skills as they match words they hear to animal sounds and pictures. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents comment that their children's language development is significantly enhanced due to the childminder's care and support. Young children develop their communication through purposeful dialogue throughout the day. This supports children to make good progress from their starting points.

The provision is good

n The childminder talks about making healthy choices. Children learn about the importance of a healthy diet. The childminder helps children become independent.

He shares ideas with parents about how they can continue to support their children's learning and development at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of local safeguarding procedures and knows what to do if he is concerned about a child's welfare. He evaluates his practice. For example, following safeguarding training, he plans to provide flyers and leaflets to update families on 'how to be safe online'. The childminder's home is well organised and he encourages children to manage risks effectively. For instance, young children know how far they can take their walkers when they are moving around inside. The childminder has high expectations. He takes account of the views of children and parents to improve the quality of care he provides. His precise tracking is used well to close any gaps in children's learning. The childminder monitors individual children's learning effectively to ensure that those who need targeted support from professionals receive the advice they need. For example, he refers children to professionals for speech and

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses his observations during the settling-in sessions to support children's emotional well-being. He gathers information during discussions with parents to ensure children settle quickly. The childminder plans a stimulating environment to help engage children in reaching the next steps in their learning. He uses events during the daily routine to support early mathematical skills and counting. For example, the childminder sings songs, counts and encourages children to point to various parts of their body. Activities are challenging and enjoyable. Children investigate textures and nature while collecting leaves from outside and making displays of their artwork for the wall. They develop their imaginative play when they explore a range of different finger puppets in the basket.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and are cared for in a warm and caring environment. Young children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. The childminder is very sensitive to children's needs, for example, he responds quickly to babies' gestures and knows when they need to sleep. Children are keen learners and access a wide range of resources. They thoroughly enjoy music and songs. Children enthusiastically explore cause and effect in their play. For instance, they bang large drums and musical instruments. This helps to promote their physical development and hand-to-eye coordination skills. The childminder ensures that children learn about their own safety, such as how to follow his instructions and cross roads safely on their way to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. Babies use their senses to explore freely and independently. They confidently pull themselves up on furniture and use walkers to strengthen their muscles. All children are well prepared for their eventual move to nursery or school, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children are caring towards babies and friendly towards their peers. They listen to each other in a very respectful way and take turns. They communicate and share stories together on their way to school.
