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.

Latest Inspection Report Card

12 December 2025
Exceptional 0 categories
Strong standard 0 categories
Expected standard 5 categories
Needs attention 1 category
Urgent improvement 0 categories
Safeguarding standards met
This childminder achieves expected standards across most areas, with children described as happy, settled and developing well in a warm, safe environment. The provider demonstrates strong relationships with children and parents, effective behaviour management, and has made significant improvements in safety and curriculum delivery since the previous inspection. However, inclusion requires attention, particularly around understanding support for children with special educational needs and knowledge of early years pupil premium. The childminder must complete mandatory training on supporting children with additional needs by February 2026, though safeguarding standards are met throughout.

Shay’s Childcare Services

5 stars

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.

Great childminder

5 stars

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.

My Twins love Shay's

5 stars

My 3 year old twins loved coming to Shay. It was their first time being away from me and they settled so well. Shay takes care to ensure they settle well, and took time to understand the twins individually. They were always kept busy, and I could as their confidence as the weeks went by. They have a speech delay and possible selective mutism, but this didn't stop them from having the best time, with structured and free play. They would always look forward to 'Shay Days' as we called it. Shay is such a natural, and her experience shows.

Exemplary care

5 stars

My daughter has been going to Shay since she was 20 months old. She has such a wonderful time there, playing with other children and doing fun activities, and would go every day if she had her way. It is a beautifully resourced setting. She has now been joined by her baby sister, who loves it just as much.
