Parents and staff at the schools children attend comment that the childminder is professional, caring and fully committed to supporting children in her care. The childminder ensures her knowledge and skills are kept up to date through regular training. She can explain how she supports children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities through adaptations to her practice.
