"Children experienced an exceptional environment in which to play and learn. The childminder had developed approaches to natural play experiences which supported children to problem solve, invent and use their imagination. The childminder evaluated her practice on a regular basis. She used her findings to develop her skills and improve the quality of service for all children using it. "
Extract from Care Inspectorate Inspection Report 2018.
"The childminder has developed excellent approaches to involving children and families in developing all aspects of her service. This has resulted in children and parents feeling respected and included in decisions that affect them. The childminder has exemplary practice in promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of children in her care. She works in partnership with parents to ensure that children's needs are met and to achieve positive outcomes. Children learn and achieve through experiencing a well-planned, stimulating and fun programme of activities."

"Mrs McGurk provides a child minding service which is highly valued by parents using the service. We found that children are very well cared for in a comfortable and welcoming home environment where they experienced a wide range of activities suited to their age and stage of development.
Strengths of the service included the attention given to children's overall care and support, the excellent range of activities and experiences provided for children and effective communication between the childminder and the children and families using the service."
