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.

Met
6 October 2021
Children attending this setting are happy, settled and benefit from strong, caring relationships with their carer. They enjoy daily fresh air and exercise, including trips to the local park, and are encouraged to develop independence, confidence and social skills through games and play. Meals and snacks are healthy and tailored to children's preferences, and safeguarding arrangements are effective, with robust procedures in place to keep children safe and secure. While overall practice is strong, there is scope for the childminder to further develop their professional knowledge through additional training, helping to continue enhancing the quality of care provided.
