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.

Inadequate
3 July 2025
An inspection has revealed significant concerns regarding safety and safeguarding practices in this childcare setting. The provider lacks sufficient knowledge of early years requirements, compromising children's safety through poor risk assessment and inadequate safeguarding procedures. Curriculum planning is ineffective, hindering children's progress. Despite these serious issues, children appear relaxed and content, with imaginative play being supported. Urgent improvements are required to meet regulatory standards.

Shay has been a brilliant supporter and very flexible she doesn’t put any pressure to make payment quickly. I will always pay her and not miss a payment as I am very trustworthy 😄 I just love the flexibility that she provides. I can just literally call her up and she’ll be ready for childminding sessions with my son. He loves it there! He loves her and he is always excited to go there. Never a moment where he will say he doesn’t want to go he even prefers to go to Shays, then going to a nursery setting. Shay takes him to the soft play and he loves it there. My son is 3 years old and she has been looking after him since 2yrs old.

My son has been with Shay for a year and six months now.
He was well settled and that was my biggest worry as he has never been left with anyone prior to her.
Shay made him feel comfortable and confident, taught him new things, allowed him to make new friends and has been an amazing influence on him.
