This provision is good

n The childminder works well with the co-childminder and assistant and keeps them up to date effectively with new practice and current guidelines. n Children are confident and happy. They are keen to learn in the warm and friendly environment where they are valued and respected. n Children have a close attachment with the childminder. They learn skills that help them get ready for their move on to school. For example, children learn to be independent and put their shoes and coats on. n The childminder extends children's communication and language skills well. For example, during play, children learn that a stethoscope is used to hear a heartbeat. n Children do not have consistent opportunities to explore information and communication technology and find out how things work. n The childminder has not fully established links with other early years settings that children attend in order to support and build on continuity in their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder, co-childminder and assistant have a good understanding of how to safeguard children. They know who to contact, what to do and the appropriate procedures to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare. The childminder regularly considers the views of his co-childminder, his assistant, parents and children to help initiate improvements. For example, the childminder talks to children about different activities and they choose what they would like to do. He regularly meets with his assistant so that she understands her role and responsibilities well. Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved his knowledge and strengthened systems for checking children's progress to provide an even sharper focus on identifying any gaps in learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is able to adapt activities for children of different ages and abilities. For example, during a role-play game the childminder names parts of the body for younger children and extends vocabulary effectively for older children. The childminder teaches mathematics well and younger children learn to count while older children begin to recognise shapes. The childminder knows the children well and plans activities that interest and excite them. For example, children learn how to use a push-and-go car. Children have lots of opportunities to learn about the natural world. For example, they go to parks and farms and learn about the wider world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder teaches children how to manage their personal risk and safety well. For example, he teaches children how to safely mount the steps on a slide and children only come down when it is safe to do so. The childminder is a good role model and children behave well. They learn that actions have consequences and are beginning to negotiate well. For example, an older child negotiated with a younger child to swap a toy during play. The childminder promotes healthy living well and teaches children good hygiene routines. For example, children know to wash their hands after coming in from outside play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good physical skills, they enjoy playing on the slide and climbing equipment in the garden. They share toys and play together well, and choose activities from easily accessible resources. For example, they play a game with stacking rings and wait patiently for their turn. Children make good progress from their starting points.
