We will usually only inspect a provider on the Childcare Register once in any 12-month period unless we receive concerns. For inspections of providers of childcare on domestic premises that operate regularly, we will carry out an unannounced inspection.

In high summer, this whole area was tall nettles and other green plants when I first bought the woods but over time the mowing of the rides has favoured grass – in the absence of brambles. However, rides and clearings are for people to get about and use, and the bramble’s thorns are painful and potentially dangerous to children. With forestry tools replaced by herbivores, which may or may not be able to tackle the leaves or stems of brambles and threaten to eat the leaves off saplings, you can see how brambles and other thorn species were important in the back-and-forth rising-and-falling tides of open grassland versus woodland. These prostrate canes can root and form new plants, so chop them back if you don't want them to spread and take over.My mum read me about two or three of the eight stories in this book in Dutch when I was a little girl. In late summer, you will see new flowers, semi-ripe and fully ripe blackberries all on the same plant.

The full-flowing vigour of our bramble hedge may be on the ebb, but there’s still an enormous abundance of life at play in this essential garden plant.

I like this collection because the pictures are large, and it includes all 8 of the stories, some of which I hadn’t been able to access before. The actual tree used by Jill Barklem to create this illustration is still to be found in Epping Forest today!
