who attend

The educational programmes provide interesting and challenging experiences that meet the needs of all children. The childminder promotes all areas of learning to help children make good progress. She plans activities that interest children. For example, she encourages children to see and feel the changes that happen to cornflour when they add water. They add colouring, mixing it with a spoon and with their hands. The childminder provides additional resources to extend children's play and learning. They make marks as they drive a toy car through the mixture and make a toy animal make footprints. The childminder encourages to draw with their fingers through the 'gloop', promoting their early writing skills. She praises them as they name and count the animals, and as they take turns. This enables children to make good progress in their learning as the childminder introduces simple mathematics and opportunities to promote children's social

skills. This helps to prepare children for the next stage of their learning.

These outings help children develop a sense of their community and learn about the wider world.

Parents contribute to the initial assessment of their child and are regularly updated on their children's progress.
