The provision is outstanding

Children thrive in the care of the dedicated childminder. They show superb levels of confidence and excel in all areas of their development. The childminder provides an exciting and challenging curriculum that ignites children's curiosity to learn. Her skilful teaching enables children to build on their imaginative and creative thinking. For instance, very young children join in with a make-believe story session. Children sit together under trees on a grassed area outside of the childminder's home. Children take turns to narrate their own imaginary story. They show remarkable listening and attention skills. Children think for a few moments before talking about a wonderful imaginary adventure. The next child listens attentively and thinks about what might happen next before they add to this story. This includes talking about a frog with a magic stick who went up in to space. Children demonstrate superb communication and language skills.

They use coloured sequinned stickers to put on their ear lobes and pretend to wear earrings. The childminder showers children with an abundance of praise and encouragement.
