p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of local authority safeguarding procedures. He regularly updates his knowledge to keep children safe. The childminder meets adult to child ratios and notifies Ofsted and parents about any significant events. The childminder continually improves his professional development and provides good-quality care for children. For example, he uses information from his co- childminder and childcare organisations to evaluate and improve his teaching practice. Since the last inspection, he has improved assessment to better identify, support and monitor the next steps for children's development. The childminder develops supportive relationships with parents to meet children's individual needs well overall.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder provides a varied range of activities and experiences that meet children's individual needs and provide challenge. Children develop a good understanding of the world. They enjoy touching and stroking animals during outings to a local country park and handling the childminder's pet rabbit. Children particularly enjoy regular cooking activities. For instance, they make cupcakes and say, 'look how yummy it has turned out', as they talk about the mixture. The childminder helps children to learn about their own safety. For example, he shows them how to use cooking tools safely as they grate cheese to make sausage rolls.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are provided with good physical challenges and develop good control of their movements. For example, during outings to a Forestry Commission area, they use obstacle courses independently and develop good balancing skills. The childminder provides a good role model for children to copy. Children are provided with a positive and stimulating learning environment. They have access to a wide range of resources and activities that develop their independence and enthusiasm for learning overall. The childminder supports children's good health effectively. For instance, he provides nutritious meals that are traditional to children's home cultures and religions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points and develop the skills they need for starting school. They confidently take part in all activities and learn new skills; for example, during regular cooking activities. Children learn to recognise their names and enjoy singing a song about the alphabet. They count in numerical order and are beginning to link numbers to objects successfully. Children concentrate well, particularly when they play with their favourite superhero resources.
