She uses highly skilful questioning techniques to assess children's understanding and learning. She listens attentively and follows their lead during conversations, and extends their communication skills further. For example, she takes every opportunity to introduce new vocabulary and ideas to add to discussions. Children are imaginative and resourceful. They make good choices in their play from a broad range of activities set out indoors and outdoors. The use of excellent observation, tracking, assessments and monitoring systems means the childminder is precisely able to identify children's individual levels of learning and development.

Mealtimes present very positive learning experiences as they are organised to be social and engaging times. Children thoroughly enjoy the broad range of varied meals and snacks offered to them, many reflecting different cuisines. Children have exceedingly good opportunities to develop a positive awareness of their own identity, and that of others. They display exceptionally high levels of respect for others.
