Latest Inspection Report Card

Expected standard 6 categories
Needs attention 0 categories
Urgent improvement 0 categories
Safeguarding standards met
This childminding setting meets the expected standard across all six inspected areas, with safeguarding and Childcare Register requirements fully met. Children build strong, trusting relationships with the childminder, feel safe and settled, and make steady progress through play-based learning, independence-building and regular community outings. Parents value the clear communication and personalised approach. Two areas for development were identified: further strengthening strategies to encourage children's spoken language, and improving information-sharing with other providers and schools to support smoother transitions and continuity in learning.
