Good
19 July 2019
A recent inspection found that children thrive in a nurturing and stimulating environment. The atmosphere encourages curiosity, strong bonds, and good behavior. Children make good progress overall, supported by effective safeguarding measures. Praise is given generously, fostering self-assurance in children. While most aspects are positive, there is room for improvement in extending children's understanding of mathematical concepts related to size and measure.

Perfect Childminder!

5 stars

We have been so happy with how our daughter has settled in with Wendy. Choosing a childminder is very daunting, but after an initial visit to Wendy's house I could see how much our daughter would like it there.
Wendy does so many interesting things with the children, very imaginative and creative. She is very professional too and keeps a log of everything the children have been doing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wendy as a childminder.
