Good
24 October 2024
A recent inspection has rated this childcare provision as 'Good' across all areas. Children enjoy a safe, welcoming environment that fosters development, particularly in language and communication skills. A multilingual approach enhances learning, with adults speaking to children in different languages. While learning opportunities are generally well-planned, there is room for improvement in adapting adult-led activities to ensure full participation of all children. Safeguarding arrangements are effective, ensuring children's safety and well-being.

Our son has been going to Sallies house for over three years now and we couldn’t ask for more, he loves it and Sallie always keeps us updated on his progress and how he’s getting on. We bumped into another parent in the park who called the kids ‘Sallies crew’ which is so true it’s like a little crew there.

Sallie came to the rescue for us when our childminder went on holiday for two weeks and offered to care for our 10 month old boy. From day one he settled in taking naps, eating well and enjoying the activities with Sallie and the other children. He came home so happy and chirpy that we decided to switch so he could continue with Sallie.

She’s been wonderful in communicating about our sons day and his activities. I’ve felt extremely reassured that he’s in safe hands and having a lot of fun. I’ve seen how his development is coming on in leaps and bounds from being around older children. It’s been a wonderful experience and I’m very sad to be moving as our son will really miss Sallie and her team.

Thank you for everything.
Xx

Thank you so much, I am really going to miss you all as well 🥲 x

Our toddler has been with Sallie a few days a week for more than a year now and he loves it there. She offers a wide range of fun activities and always sends great update messages at the end of each day so we know what he's been up to. She adapts his meals to be vegetarian and has been really flexible around periods of sickness or having a new baby. We are confident that our son is well cared for and nurtured and count ourselves lucky to have found her
