26 October 2022
An inspection report reveals a nurturing environment where children thrive and develop essential skills. The childminder provides diverse learning experiences, supporting language development through interactive conversations. Children enjoy exploring their local area and participating in various activities. While older children benefit from quality interactions, there's room to enhance engagement with younger and less demanding children. Improvements in planning could help build more consistently on children's existing knowledge.
