About Me

I ve often been called Mary Poppins and The Pied Piper of Hamilin!!!
I AM A HAPPY, FUN AND CARING CHILDMINDER, WITH LOTS OF ENERGY AND 36 YEARS CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE !!

I know how hard it is to leave your precious bundle of joy with somebody else when you return to work. I had to do the same thing when my first born was only 3 months old, when I worked in a school! With this in mind, I can empathise with how you must be feeling. I will work with yourselves to make your little one feel as safe, secure and as happy as I possibly can and will reassure you with messages and a photo throughout the day if you would like..

My aim is to provide a safe, stimulating, happy and caring environment, where every child feels valued and treated as an individual. The children have access to;
Many stimulating activities
Plenty of conversation
And lots of FUN and HUMOUR.
I have been a OFSTED registered, childminder for 20 years. I live with my husband, , two children aged 20 and 21 (who love my minded children and treat them like extra brothers and sisters) , and two gorgeous friendly black cats called Charlie and Lola. We have a golden retriever, called Milo, we chose this breed as they are the best with children. There is a stairgate across the playroom, so Milo is separated from the children and only enters the playroom when I let him.

I have a bright, airy playroom, which I use for childminding, this is where all the fun happens! We have so many, toys, games and books for the children to enjoy. I plan lots of activities for the children, following the EYFS framework. We are always in the garden, planting, making camps etc. I have a covered decked area directly outside the playroom, so the children have free flow inside and outside.
I take the children to parks, woods, libraries, Childrens Centres, music groups, soft plays etc. We go on lots of trips, such as, the farm and seaside!

I provide breakfast and snacks.
Parents provide child's packed lunch.


2 free settling in sessions.
References available on request.
My daughter is also my registered assistant and helps when needed. The children adore her.
She works at a school term time.

If I sound what you are looking for, or you have any questions, don t hesitate to call me.

I am the last road in New Addington, just before the lanes.......which is quick access to West Wickham, Selsdon, Forestdale and Biggin Hill.
So although on the childcare.Co. UK profile, it may say 3.5 miles away......There are always quicker routes.
At the moment I am minding children who come from biggin hill, forestdale and as far as Lewisham.
