Good
14 November 2024
A recent inspection found that children benefit from a safe and welcoming environment with a broad range of resources. The childcare setting focuses on developing independence and language skills, with regular outdoor activities and community engagement. Children learn about expected behaviors through clear boundaries and praise. However, the inspection identified areas for improvement, including more effective strategies for helping children manage their behavior and better sequencing of learning to build on existing knowledge.

Exceptional Childcare: Nuturing and structured

5 stars

Donna has been exceptional since our son started with her at 9 months. He has thrived, exceeding milestones like walking before one, becoming very sociable, and now, at 2 years 9 months, he's potty training and communicating clearly. Her daily structured activities help us plan ahead, and she has taught him valuable habits, like tidying up at home. We’re grateful for the nurturing, supportive environment she provides and highly recommend her for any parent seeking outstanding childcare.
