About Me

I am a fun loving mother of 2 - a boy aged 22 (at Uni) and a girl aged 20 who works full time - who are my life.

'Pre' children i used to be a Travel consultant for 17 years and have travelled the world - meeting my childrens father in Indonesia. I love to listen to music, go on outings with the kids, cook, do art and crafty things ...and meet up with friends. I do not smoke. I do drive - full clean license. We bought a puppy- Joey in lockdown - now 4 who loves cuddles and is child friendly.

My Experience

I am a qualified childminder, Ofsted registered and Pacey member. I am 1st aid trained, follow EYFS, CRB checked, SEN trained, ICP trained, and also a trained teaching assistant. My last Ofsted Inspection in July 2019 - graded Good.
I also regularly take different courses in relation to my job : Safeguarding, Food Hygiene and EYPDP etc... Also April 2024 I have enrolled in the ‘Early Years Professional Development Programme’ course running April-November.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE ;
A CRB not a DBS
- CRB’s preceded the DBS.
They are exactly the same - but different initials.
When visiting I will show you my CRB

I am also an OFSTED registered Nanny.
Full clean Uk driving license.

Rough Daily/weekly routines ;

I have a garden, live within 5 minutes walk to Mayow Park and also co- run a toddler group , along with another childminder 3 mornings a week, in a local church hall.

We do lots of arts/crafts, go to the library, parks , and singing groups, visit the local museums etc …
meet up with a few other childminders with their mindees - so we are a sociable bunch.

As well as following the EYFS, my primary focus is learning through play, whilst adding the basics counting, colours, recognising letters etc … which entices the child to want to progress and learn more (whilst having fun)

I live 2 mins from Sydenham high street and 5 mins walk from the train station.
Buses & trains are frequent
And on street free parking is available.
