This provision is good
n The childminder is kind and caring. He provides a warm, nurturing environment for children. He is attentive to their individual needs, which helps to promote their emotional well-being. n Partnerships with parents and other settings are strong. The childminder exchanges ongoing developmental information with them. This helps to ensure continuity of care and learning for all children. n Children have good opportunities to develop their imagination. They enjoy a range of role-play experiences. For example, children enjoy using the doctor's kit as they pretend to diagnose and treat their patients. n Children are confident to explore in surroundings that are safe, and they are able to select resources that interest them. They are well behaved and motivated to play and learn. n The childminder reflects well on the quality of the provision. He regularly seeks the views of parents and children and uses these to identify further ways to enhance his

already good practice. This helps to improve outcomes for children. n The childminder misses some opportunities to support children to be even more independent. For example, during meal and snack times. n The childminder does not use information obtained from his comprehensive observations and accurate assessments of children's development as well as he could. This means he does not precisely monitor children's progress or identify gaps in their learning swiftly enough.

p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection issues. He knows what to do if he has a concern about the welfare of a child. He understands wider safeguarding issues, for example situations where children may be exposed to extreme views or behaviours. The childminder completes regular risk assessments to ensure that children can play safely indoors and outdoors. He regularly evaluates the provision, taking into account the views of parents and children. He values parents' opinions and has established effective partnerships. Parents speak very highly of the service provided.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
The childminder collects vital information from parents when their children join. He uses this information to plan a range of activities that are based on their individual interests. He regularly observes children and uses the information gained to plan future activities that extend their learning. Children benefit from a good range of challenges through a variety of resources available to them. They develop their literacy skills as they learn to recognise and write short words. Children enjoy sharing books and are able to read some words. They enjoy their time outdoors in the fresh air. Children have opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles as they talk about the fruit and vegetables that they grow in the garden.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children behave very well. They have formed close bonds with the childminder and show that they feel safe in his care. They behave well. Children understand what is expected of them and follow the house rules, for example helping to tidy away before getting more toys out. The childminder is a good role model and actively promotes good manners, such as saying 'please' and 'thank you'. The childminder supports the children to adopt good hygiene practises. For example, he encourages them to wash their hands and brush their teeth after they have eaten. Children are provided with a range of healthy and nutritional snacks and meals.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
Children are supported well in their learning and development. They make good progress from their starting points and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning. Children develop good language and communication skills and, in addition to English, are able to communicate in French and German. They confidently identify and write the letters of their names. Children are starting to show an interest in telling the time and confidently identify the numbers on the clock face.
