Children gain comfort and emotional security from their close bond with the childminder. Older children fling their arms around the childminder and tell her that they love her. Babies take comfort from physical contact and listening to the childminder talk to them. Children often make up songs as they become engrossed in their work and concentrate intently. They consistently show good manners towards others and take account of other people's views. Children develop their physical skills. They throw and catch bean bags and find out about being healthy as they eat a range of healthy food.
