Good
21 June 2023
Children at this setting benefit from a positive learning atmosphere and individualized support. The childminder creates an engaging environment where children actively participate in activities aligned with their interests. Strong support is provided for those with additional needs, and there's a focus on developing communication skills and independence. While behavior management is generally good, there's room for improvement in helping children understand how their actions affect others. Overall, the inspection found the childcare to be of good quality across all areas.
