The provision is outstanding

The childminder provides a wealth of captivating and highly challenging learning experiences, which she plans in detail. She embeds children's developing speech and language into the curriculum. For instance, when children encounter an insect, she ignites their curiosity for exploration and suggests they find a magnifying glass. Children excitedly investigate its intricate features and enthusiastically share their discoveries with their peers. They demonstrate a sense of care for living creatures and request fruit to nourish the bugs they have encountered. They delve into insect-themed books, create elaborate drawings, and explore the various ways different insects manoeuvre. Children exhibit outstanding progress, and begin their educational journey with a wealth of knowledge, diverse skills and a genuine passion for continuous learning.
