My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Dee Dee’s Childminding.
My name is Dee, I’m married to Danny and we live in Arnold with our 3 daughters - Willow 9, Pipar 5 and Emersyn 4. We have a lovely indoor bunny called Bongo, and 2 cats called Maverick and Lucy.
I work with an assistant and together we offer a warm, friendly and comforting environment where children feel safe and happy. Ellie has been with me for over 4 years and is part of the family. We offer a wide variety of activities including daily outings to local toddler groups, library trips, farms, park etc. On request we can supply an example of our weekly plan of what we get up to.
We also have lots of play dates with fellow childminders so children can meet lots of people and start to build friendships.
I have a designated, well equipped play room for children to enjoy with plenty of toys, puzzles, books, craft equipment and chalk board etc.
Our setting is right next to a fabulous green/wooded area which provides us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exploration and developing physical skills.
Included in my fees I provide healthy snacks, drinks and lunch. Special dietary requirements can be easily catered for too.
I have recently been graded GOOD by OFSTED in August 2022.
I currently offer care between the hours of 7.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Thursday and hours are flexible depending on individual family needs.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch to discuss.
My Experience

I also have extensive experience caring for my sister who was Down Syndrome and suffered many health problems including epilepsy and angina.
I offer care for all age groups.
I have been childminding now for over 9 years, learning constantly along the way. I have undertaken many training courses such as safeguarding, child abuse, special educational needs and I have also completed my Level 3 Diploma in early years education to support my childcare knowledge.
