Children have an excellent relationship with the childminder. They benefit from a welcoming and clean environment, which the childminder organises very well. The supportive and nurturing environment ensures all children feel valued, safe and secure. Children develop a positive attitude to healthy eating as well as personal hygiene. For example, the childminder provides children with a balanced diet of healthy home-cooked food, regular snacks and drinks. Children develop very good physical abilities as they use a wide range of outdoor resources to develop their climbing, running and jumping skills. Children easily take turns, share and are happy to take responsibility for tidying up. This means children develop excellent social skills and outstanding attitudes and skills for when they move on to school.

For example, recent training has thoroughly developed her understanding of how to plan for children who speak English as an additional language. The childminder works exceedingly well with other professionals involved in the care of the children and has excellent links with other settings that children attend. These strong partnerships ensure highly effective continuity in children's learning. The childminder and her co-childminders work extremely well together and share their skills very effectively to benefit children's outcomes. She analyses and tracks children's progress very successfully, which means she identifies and very quickly targets any emerging gaps in their learning.
