Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

A distinctive and highly effective feature of the childminder's work is the flexible and exciting curriculum that she has fostered.

Younger children are fascinated while enacting roles of shopkeepers and show excellent mathematical skills while counting money. Older children articulately discuss the aerodynamics of aircraft and become enthralled while

Children have a profoundly strong sense of belonging and develop trusting relationships with each other. Children's behaviour is exemplary. The childminder provides innovative experiences for children to learn about healthy living and has created her garden into an oasis of adventure.

Their attainment across the areas of learning is exceptionally high and continues to accelerate at a rapid rate. Children are exceedingly competent communicators and skilful readers. Younger children are fascinated while playing with musical instruments and beam with delight while singing. Older children excitedly take on roles as doctors and confidently operate cause-and-effect toys.
