About Me

My name is Maria McLeod and I live in East Worthing with my husband who is a music teacher and two children (aged 21 and 18).
We have two cats and several fish in an aquarium.
I am a registered childminder with Ofsted and have a "Good" grading (last graded February 2023).
I am frequently found out and about and I attend regular singing, and childminding and toddler groups. I am also a member of the toy library. I love to go to the park, beach and the library and aim to provide a different experience each day.

My Experience

I am a mum first and foremost and have 21 years of experience at that. I have been registered with Ofsted since 2010 and I love that every day is different and I get to see everything from a child's eye perspective. I am a calm and caring childminder and like to provide a home from home experience, with learning through fun at the top of the agenda.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Good
15 February 2023
A recent inspection found children thriving in a joyful and welcoming environment. The childcare creates a positive atmosphere where children play kindly and fairly with one another. Communication development is well-supported, with babies proudly repeating words taught. Engaging activities follow children's interests and motivate learning. While social skills and learning experiences are strong points, there is room for improvement in teaching about healthy lifestyles and hygiene practices.
