My Summary
About Me
I am a fully registered childminder living in Alness with my husband, we have 2 children a boy and a girl aged 14 and 18. I also have 2 grown up children. I am a member of the Scottish Childminding Association. At my last inspection by the SCSWIS I was graded Excellent, Excellent and Very Good (6 6 5).
I live in a quiet area of Alness with an enclosed garden where children can play safely, with lots of outdoor toys such as trampoline, little tikes hide and seek climbing frame, playhouse, ride on cars, tricycle, scooters and swing. I welcome all children into my home and offer a safe, secure, welcoming and homely environment with lots of activities, stories and outdoor play.
There is a small playpark very close to my home which we regularly go to. We also go a lot of walks and different parks nearby.
