Progress and development
Children develop very caring relationships with the childminder and other children.
Their care and learning needs are quickly identified and exceptionally well met in this nurturing, child-centred environment, which means that they thrive.
The caring, supportive and nurturing environment ensures that all children feel valued, safe and secure. I am extremely attentive and offer children appropriate support and independence. Children move purposefully within my stimulating home and make informed choices about how and where they spend their time. For example, children select their play from labelled boxes, cloth bags with themed resources, and, spontaneously, return resources to where they belong. As a result of these steps, children are emotionally prepared for school or a move to another set from an early age.
