Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
13 February 2025
Children benefit from warm interactions and a tailored curriculum in this good-quality childcare setting. The provider develops close bonds with the children and plans activities based on their interests. There is a strong focus on fostering independence and literacy skills, with regular library visits and rich vocabulary development. Children are encouraged to undertake small tasks and receive praise for their achievements. While the overall quality is good, the provider could offer more time for children to fully respond and share their ideas during conversations.

The best childminder

5 stars

Mel is the best, my child is well cared for, absolutely loves going, she has regular trips to the park, lots of activities etc - we would be lost without her - an A* childminder.
Im really fussy who I leave my children with and have no doubts whatsoever whilst they are in her care. Highly recommend :)
