My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Good

14 June 2023

Children thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where independence and learning are actively encouraged. Rated 'Good' across all areas, including education quality, behavior, and personal development, the setting fosters strong bonds between children, peers, and staff. A tailored curriculum allows children to practice and hone their skills. While overall effectiveness is positive, there is room for improvement in encouraging communication among quieter children and those with limited vocabulary.
