"….. she skilfully extends children's experiences and introduces new skills to enable children to attain their full potential. Excellent partnerships with parents, carers and others contributes effectively to her knowledge and understanding of children's individual needs and supports their continued development. The needs of all children are effectively met through recognising the uniqueness of each child. Exceptionally well-organised documentation underpins highly-effective practice. The childminder is committed to continuous improvement and development through on-going training. Close monitoring of the quality of the provision demonstrates the childminder's excellent understanding of her key strengths and areas for future development." OFSTED, about Jean Geers (23 February 2009) "Children's learning is purposefully promoted through the childminder's excellent knowledge of the EYFS framework and child development. He uses the framework effectively to plan a broad and varied range of play experiences and opportunities which cover the six areas of learning. The childminder has a secure knowledge of children's individual needs, personalities and learning preferences. He makes observations of children's learning and uses this information when planning for their next steps. Planning is detailed and caters for each child which ensures all children receive an enjoyable yet challenging experience. Children learn to be confident and to have a positive attitude to learning because of the guidance and support they receive from the childminder. Consequently, all children's learning needs are catered for and children are making excellent progress in their learning."
