Children engage in activities exceptionally well. For instance, they persevere and concentrate as they work out how to fit together the pieces of puzzles. The childminder encourages children's early literacy skills very well. For example, children quickly recognise their names and pictures cards when registering their arrival. The childminder listens very attentively to children and gives them ample time to respond and think as she asks questions. For example, she encourages their skills as she asks children if they can name the dinosaurs during play. Children display excellent language skills as they name these. Children have superb opportunities to problem solve and investigate in their play. They concentrate and work out which tools are the most effective to remove the toy dinosaurs from ice blocks. They clearly understand how ice melts and know that it would melt quicker in hot weather.
