Children show their amazing capacity to learn about the world, and the people and wildlife that live in different parts of it. Children confidently communicate their individual interests. For example, one child shared his knowledge of different musical instruments and excitement of going to the theatre. Another child explained how to identify sharks by the shape of their head. The childminder is an expert at teaching children how to use the computer safely to build on their curiosity and quench their thirst for knowledge. The childminder's meticulous observation, assessment and monitoring give her a valuable insight into all aspects of children's learning. She continues to challenge her 'high fliers' with a focus on developing their excellent mathematical skills.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Young children settle quickly into the childminder's wonderfully exciting playroom and care routines.

Children behave extremely well for their ages. The childminder expertly promotes their social skills as they play together, encouraging sharing, turn taking and negotiation. Children develop high levels of self-esteem and a greater awareness of how to help each other. The childminder broadens children's understanding of diversity through outings on trains, visits to museums and exploration of both the city and the countryside. Children benefit greatly from excellent opportunities to be physically active in their local parks and at different playgroups.
