Babies enjoy exploring the texture of the dough and squeal with delight as they watch it spout from the moulding machine. The childminder supports children's communication skills well. For example, she helps them sound out letters as they sing songs. She engages babies well as they vocalise and move their bodies to music.

For example, they participate in a wealth of physical activities, including trips to the park. The childminder teaches children to follow good hygiene routines and meets their individual care needs well.
