I set up as a minder in 2007 and have not looked back.

I do my up most to respect and include every child within my setting regardless. this may happened by learning and teaching the other children and sometimes myself about religious or cultural differences and by working with parents of SEN children to ensure their needs are fully met.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
6 November 2024
A warm and caring environment supports children's development across various areas. The curriculum focuses on independence, confidence, and social-emotional skills, with children behaving exceptionally well. Excellent support is provided for those with special educational needs, and there is a strong emphasis on physical development. Partnerships with parents are effective. However, there is room for improvement in consistently introducing mathematical concepts during play.
