p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of his roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. He maintains up-to-date knowledge of child protection issues and wider safeguarding concerns, through local training. He knows what action to take if he has any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder provides a safe and welcoming environment for children, throughout the setting. He supervises children effectively and identifies potential risks, taking swift action to address these to keep children safe. The childminder and his co-childminder use self-evaluation to drive continuous improvement well. They keep a close check on the quality of teaching and children's overall progress. This has a positive impact on outcomes for all children and contributes to the good progress children make in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a good range of toys and resources which children can independently choose from. He follows children's individual interests well and successfully captures opportunities to extend their learning through their self-chosen play. For instance, when children choose to play outdoors, the childminder uses good opportunities to build on their counting skills, such as when children count the number of jumps they can do. The childminder develops children's communication and language skills well. He introduces new language and helps children to pronounce words correctly. The childminder makes regular observations and assessments of children's learning and shares this with parents. Parents say that this helps them to repeat similar activities at home, to support learning successfully. This helps to contribute to children's good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder develops good relationships with children, to help them to settle happily into his welcoming home. Children gain good social skills and behave well. The childminder has a wide range of toys and resources which motivate children's play. Children make choices throughout the day and develop good independence and self-care skills ready for school. They enjoy plenty of opportunities to be physically active. For example, they enjoy being outside as they learn to throw, catch and kick balls. Good- quality care information is gathered from parents when children first start attending, to help provide continuity in the care children receive.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen to learn and make good progress, that is typical for their age. The skills and knowledge they develop provide a firm foundation for their future learning in school. Children develop good physical coordination skills and are confident in managing some of their own care needs independently. They gain good mathematical skills, such as learning to count numbers in order. Children speak well and gain good vocabulary skills. They are confident and articulate in their conversations with adults and rapidly learn new words. For instance, children learn about the names of different colours and how to pronounce new words correctly, to develop their speaking skills well.
