My Summary
About Me
I am married and have 1 child living with me and older children who have grown up and moved out. I am Ofsted registered and have been childminding for 20 years now. I used to use a childminder with my older children and they enjoyed their time there so much that when my last child was born I thought that it was time for me to have a change of job so childminding it was and I have never looked back. I get out into the local community to local parks and play groups, I do this to give the children more areas to play and interact with others, LLangollen, Park Hall Farm, Ellesmere, Attingham Park, Chirk Castle are some of the other places we go to during the year as well as many others. We do various activities from painting to creating pots with clay, children love to make things to take home to mum or dad. I am able to collect the 15 and 30 hours and 24u funded child care vouchers from the government so when your child is eligible you have the choice to use myself or a nursery or both.
My Experience
As well as childminding for 20 years I have been a mother for a long time so I am aware of childrens needs and requirements. My aim is to work with each family to surport them in bringing up their child. All members of my house that are over the age of 16 have had a CRB check and mine is an enhanced. My recent Ofsted inspection March 2020. My background is working with young adults with learning difficulties, supporting them to live independently and gaining qualifications to support them in that.
