The children invite the childminder to play alongside them as they pretend to cook in the role-play kitchen. She expertly interacts with them to extend their learning. Children are fascinated as they eagerly mix cornflour and water together using their senses to explore textures. The childminder extended children's learning, providing different food colourings and challenging them exceptionally well to predict what might happen as they added colours. She encouraged the children to count the number of drops of colour they add, promoting early counting skills very successfully. The childminder expertly follows the children's lead, asking skilful questions extremely effectively to encourage the children to think and solve problems.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are thoughtful, kind and considerate. They thrive in this exciting and nurturing environment. The childminder is an excellent role model for the children and children behave impeccably. The childminder supports children's emotional well-being and is attentive to their needs, teaching them vital social skills. Children develop confidence to solve problems between themselves, willingly sharing resources in the role-play areas. Children are supported exceptionally well to develop their independence and make choices. For instance, younger children show great pride in having responsibility, using the knife carefully to cut up their own sandwiches into quarters.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make outstanding progress in their learning and development from their individual starting points. Children learn to recognise letters in their name and the sound that letters represent and are exceptionally well prepared for future learning. They show high levels of self-esteem and confidence, and have a positive attitude towards their learning. They are confident in their abilities and learn to take appropriate risks in their play, such as climbing the steps to the top of the slide safely. They concentrate well and remain engaged in activities for sustained periods.
