My Ofsted Inspections

Latest Inspection Report Card

22 January 2026
Exceptional 0 categories
Strong standard 2 categories
Expected standard 4 categories
Needs attention 0 categories
Urgent improvement 0 categories
Safeguarding standards met
This childminder achieves a strong standard in two areas, with the remaining four categories meeting expected standards. Safeguarding requirements are met. Particular strengths include nurturing relationships, excellent support for children with special educational needs, and a strong focus on communication and language development. Children flourish emotionally and develop good self-care skills. However, there are opportunities to strengthen practice by ensuring learning intentions in adult-led activities more precisely build on previous learning, and by aligning professional development more closely with improvement priorities. Parents provide extremely complimentary feedback about their children's progress.

5 stars

Our son has been attending Charlotte’s for the past two years and absolutely loves it. We were so lucky to find her, from the moment we met her, I knew I would feel completely happy and confident leaving our son in her care. She is incredibly caring and loving.
The learning experiences she provides are amazing and the activities she plans are truly outstanding.
We feel extremely fortunate to have Charlotte and her family in our lives.

Wonderful childminder, can’t recommend enough

5 stars

Mello1 has looked after my son 2020-2023 and my daughter 2022-2024 and has been a continuously reliable, professional and caring childminder. I feel absolutely confident and secure about her care of my children. She was the first person to realise my son had glue ear and provided amazing support while we navigated his treatment. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Like leaving your children with family.
