About Me

I am an OFSTED registered childminder On Elsea park, in bourne, I have been childminding for 12 years. I have 3 Children of my own.
I became a childminder after i had my daughter as it was a way to be at home with her and allow me to pursue a career in Childcare.
Before i was a Childminder i worked for 10 years as a Dental Nurse, so I have always worked with people, it's nice to now be able to spend my time looking after the little ones rather than the adults.

I use my home setting, local green spaces and many of the amazing local amenities such as Grimsthorpe castle, burghley gardens and more recently, Tiny steps, our new local petting farm to give the children a wide variety or experiences.

Working with children and being able to engage with them and learn as we go is so rewarding, I love my job everyday and couldn’t imagine doing anything else!

My Experience

I have 3 Children of my own and have gained a lot of personal experience through them but we also have a very large extended family who i spend a lot of time with.
I have had many Children in my care over the last 12 years and have built up wonderful relationships with them all and their parents.
I do as many online courses as I can in order to stay up to date and to keep moving with the times, it also helps to get inspiration to keep developing my setting into the best it can possibly be.

My Qualifications

I am Offsted Registered, trained in Paediatric First aid and safeguarding Children, i also have many other certificates for training i have attended.
I take regular online courses to keep my self up to date with any changes happening in childcare and the Early years and also to help improve my setting.

I have a full time spaces available from September 2024.

My now 4 year old has been with Vikki for about a year now and she absolutely loves going to childminders thanks to Vikki. My 8 year old goes to Vikki’s after school and he also has a great time. Vikki is so good to them and always tries to take them out where she can. I can trust they’re in good hands when they’re with her.
