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

28 January 2025

An inspection revealed a curriculum focused on developing confident and independent learners in a nurturing environment. Children benefit from strong communication support, community engagement through regular outings, and close partnerships with parents. The overall effectiveness is good, with positive relationships and a well-planned environment. However, the mathematics curriculum could be strengthened, particularly during free play activities, to better prepare children for school.
