supports their emotional well-being. n The childminder plans activities which encourage children's individual interests. For example, children add magnetic numbers to their bowls, to create soup. The childminder calls out the names of the magnetic numbers. This builds on the children's early maths skills. They use paints and brushes to create marks on their paper masks. This builds on their fine motor skills. The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn within her setting. However, she provides resources for younger children which are challenging to use. As a result, the learning outcomes set are too high for them to achieve.
