Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy listening to their favourite songs and rhymes, and enthusiastically join in with the words and actions.

The childminder provides lots of praise to help children understand what they are doing well. Overall, the childminder develops children's physical and creative skills especially well, for example, as they enjoy using their fingers and hands to spread coloured glitter gel to create pictures.

The childminder provides a good range of nutritious snacks and meals, which promotes children's enjoyment of a wide range of foods.
