Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

For example, children eagerly join in together to play games where they move around the garden negotiating obstacles. The childminder fosters children's literacy skills well and they actively join in with stories they have asked the childminder to read.

They demonstrate high levels of respect for others, and are extremely kind and
