Young children are able to operate simple technology themselves. For instance, they press buttons on electronic toys to create different effects. The childminder provides children with good opportunities to develop a wide range of physical skills, such as balancing, running and jumping.

For example, they sit down when eating and know they must walk indoors to avoid accidents. The childminder supports children's personal and social development effectively. For instance, she teaches them to say 'please' and 'thank you' and to share and take turns as they play with toys and resources.
