n The childminder plans activities to help children progress towards their early learning goals and, overall, she knows what she wants children to learn. However, there are occasions when the childminder does not always use this information precisely enough to identify where children need to go next in their learning. n Older children are highly mindful of the younger children as they play. They are thoughtful as they move around, making sure they do not bump into younger children as they crawl around exploring the learning environment. This helps to support children's social and emotional development. n Children are confident learners. They happily express to the childminder where they wish to play, asking with confidence to play outside. They are also highly skilled in knowing routines and putting on their shoes by themselves.
