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
14 July 2021
Children thrive in a nurturing environment where imagination and learning go hand in hand. Rated Good across all areas, the childcare setting offers a safe, engaging space with strong COVID-19 safety measures. Children enjoy nutritious meals and participate in varied activities supporting their development. While overall care is commendable, there's room for improvement in gathering initial information from parents and consistently building on existing knowledge to support more rapid progress.

Highly recommend

5 stars

I highly recommend Carol! My 4 year old son loves going to her house and always comes home happy telling me about all the amazing things he did that day.
Carol is understanding, kind and welcoming. Having a child with asthma and allergies made me worried about leaving him, but Carol made me feel very comfortable and I knew just how safe and happy my son would be.
Thank you Carol for all that you do :)

Excellent

5 stars

Carol has been an amazing childminder and my 2 girls love her to bits. Very punctual, always ready when I drop my kids off. Flexible, clean environment, kind and very understanding with the kids. Would recommend her services. Treats all children the same, irrespective of race or gender.

Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

5 stars

My 3 year old son has been going to Carol now since March and has Loved every single minute of it. They are a lovely family and have treated my son as one of their own since day 1. I knew when I first met Carol, she would be the one I could leave him with, and I haven’t looked back since. He learns new things each day and tells me what he has been doing.
I can thank you enough for being so accommodating and welcoming.
I highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you again Carol!
