This provision is outstanding

n The childminder is passionate about the care and learning he delivers. This is demonstrated through his superb interactions, the highly stimulating environment and challenging learning opportunities he provides for children. Children are extremely motivated and very eager to join in with activities. They show high levels of well-being and involvement. n Partnerships with parents are highly effective. The childminder starts working with parents from the beginning. For example, he encourages them to talk about children's learning when they first start and includes them in all subsequent assessments. The childminder uses a range of excellent techniques, such as completing termly assessments in children's own homes, to help maintain exceptional relationships and partnership working with parents. n The childminder has exemplary working relationships with the local school. This helps to ensure continuity in care and learning for children who attend both settings.
