For example, she sings action songs, reads favourite stories, and sustains high-quality conversations which enhance children's learning even further.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder maintains a highly stimulating, vibrant and exceptionally well-considered environment. She provides an abundance of resources inside and outside. This encourages children of all ages to make their own choices in their play. The childminder plans inspiring opportunities to encourage children to develop highly effective social skills and learn about the wider world. For example, she regularly takes young children on visits and to local groups. Children discuss Remembrance Sunday and the relevance of the poppies from a visit to the local minster. Children are exceptionally well supported to develop aspects of their personal care from a very young age. For example, when getting ready for school, children competently sit on the stairs and put on coats, shoes and bags. They then offer support to other children.
