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

4 February 2020

Children benefit from a rich and stimulating environment with good support for communication skills. The setting offers diverse activities, including cultural experiences, and follows children's interests. High expectations for behavior are maintained, and children demonstrate good manners. While the overall quality of education is good, there is room for improvement in offering greater challenges during interactions with children. Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with regular safety checks and up-to-date training.
