Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
28 July 2023
A dedicated childminder provides a nurturing environment focused on social and language skills development. Children benefit from excellent interactions that promote strong speaking and understanding abilities. The engaging learning atmosphere encourages curiosity and independent play. While partnerships with parents are well-established, there is room for improvement in consistently using knowledge about children to inform teaching and focusing more closely on individual learning needs.

Fantastic childminder!

5 stars

Kirstie has been a life saver since I returned to work. She provides a home away from home and my daughter loves spending time with her. All of the children Kirstie looks after adore her! I couldn’t ask for anything more from Kirstie.
