An Ayrshire childminding service has been handed a positive report card from the Care Inspectorate.
Nicola’s Childminding Service, based in Coylton, was said to have "important strengths” in the care provided.
And the service, run by Nicola McPike, was graded ‘good’ for care and support and for the quality of its environment following an unannounced inspection, which took place over two days in April and May.
