22 November 2022
Children benefit from a caring environment focused on language development and independence, according to a recent inspection. The childminder has achieved a 'Good' rating across all areas, showing improvement from the previous evaluation. Strong emphasis is placed on developing speech, language, and mathematical skills through engaging activities. Children enjoy community trips and are encouraged to be independent. While safeguarding arrangements are effective and parents provide positive feedback, support for children speaking English as an additional language could be improved.
