Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge and understanding of his responsibilities to protect children from harm. He has a full understanding of the procedures to follow if there are concerns about children's well-being or safety. The childminder is extremely vigilant about keeping children safe and supervises their activities well. He completes regular risk assessments in respect of all activities. The childminder researches new legislation to develop his skills to improve outcomes for all children. He accesses training and meets and networks with other childminders to help keep his knowledge and skills up to date. He and his co-childminder regularly reflect on the quality of the service. He consults with parents and seeks their opinions to drive forward improvements and changes.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with a good range of activities that follows their interests. Children enjoy using their imaginations when playing outdoors. They explore the playhouse and pretend to make meals for each other. Children are becoming confident talkers. The childminder places emphasis on supporting children's developing communication skills. For instance, he models language for younger children. He listens carefully to them and engages children in regular conversation to help support their language skills. Children develop their problem-solving skills. They use interlocking bricks to make towers and complex shapes. They develop confidence in their physical skills. They discover a strong sense of achievement as they reach the top of the slide and enjoy the excitement of using the slide to travel downwards.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is caring and calm and responds in a kindly manner towards children. He is receptive to children's individual needs and knows their routines well. For example, he knows when younger children are tired and makes sure they sleep in safety and comfort. Children delight in outdoor play and the childminder encourages children to gain in confidence when playing outdoors. Children who have recently commenced walking eagerly use wheeled cars and enjoy climbing a few steps up to the slide. Children are well motivated during activities and enjoy positive relationships with each other. Children learn good hygiene routines and the childminder provides them with a range of healthy snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well from their starting points. Children are eager to learn and confident. They have good opportunities to develop their independence. They put on their own shoes and boots and zip up their coats to go outdoors. Older children form friendships with each other and concentrate well while they learn new skills. Children are gaining the skills that provides a good foundation for their future learning and their eventual move on to school.
