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.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
10 November 2022
A recent inspection highlights a nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported. The childminder and assistant skillfully promote language development and mathematical understanding through engaging activities. Children benefit from experiences that encourage skill development, such as practicing hand-eye coordination during snack preparation. While the overall quality of education is good, there is room for improvement in teaching consistency and allowing children more independence in tasks.

Best Childminder for your child

5 stars

An outstanding childcare provided by Laura. Daily updates, 100% attention, homemade food, regular trips to farms, playgrounds, parks, even beaches and gym tots, weekly swimming lessons - all included in the price. Laura, her mum and her family will provide the best enviroment for your child and every day will be filled with entertainment, laughs, plays, learning and also cuddles if needed. My son was so happy at Laura's place and was talking about her even at home. He still misses her and all his friends. Would recommend this Childcare to everyone - the best one in the area. Thank you so much for everything.
