We provide a safe and stimulating environment for children's learning and development. The setting implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and ensures all children have equal access and opportunity to actively learn and develop.  Outdoor access is available all year round to extend experiences. We focus on the indivdual childs strengths and support and encourage further learning opportunities building on confidence and skills.

I have been a Registered Childminder since 2014. I was graded Outstanding in 2016. I provide before and after school childcare for children who attend Cragside Primary School.

Following changes in how before and after school provisions are inspected by Ofsted I received MET when I was inspected in January 2020. The report explains what it is like for a child to attend my setting. I also have up to date feedback from previous as well as current childminding families which I can share with you.

I provide a warm and friendly atmosphere to all children whatever race, culture or gender and ensure safety at all times.  Children have access to a broad range of resources, play opportunities and activities.  I work in partnership with parents and use the framework Birth to Five Matters effectively to involve children and further their development.  I also provide all meals, snacks and drinks which contain a range of different nutrients, fruit and vegetables and meet the needs of cultural and religious practices.
