The childminder has good knowledge of procedures to follow should she have concerns about a child's welfare. She is keen to keep her skills and knowledge up to date.

The childminder provides interesting creative activities for children. For example, children use sponges to make prints on paper and learn about different painting effects.

Children gain good physical skills, such as climbing, jumping and balancing, in the outdoor area.
