Good
5 November 2019
Children thrive in an engaging and supportive environment where their individual needs are well understood and met. Activities are tailored to each child's developmental stage, fostering curiosity and full participation. Strong relationships are formed with the caring childminder, and parents provide positive feedback on their children's progress. Community involvement enriches the children's experiences. While the overall care is of high quality, there is room for further optimization of learning opportunities and increased consideration of children's views in the evaluation process.
