The provision is good

Children form close bonds with the kind natured childminder. They are warmly welcomed into her homely setting, where they receive good-quality care and education. Children happily approach the childminder for cuddles and enjoy sitting close to her when she reads stories. Favourites include 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea', which promotes pretend play and a tea party, developing both expressive and creative arts, a love of books and enjoyment of reading. There are firm routines in place, which help children know what is happening next. For example, when the childminder announces it is time for snack, children readily enter the kitchen to wash their hands. This helps to prepare children for their eventual move to school. Rich outdoor learning experiences are a key focus. The childminder organises daily activities, such as trips to local library, parks and soft-play settings. This helps children to learn about the world around them and socialise with a wider group of

For instance, she calmly explains the reasons behind her rules, such as why it is important to treat others with respect and kindness.
