My Summary

My Experience

I have been a Childminder for 24 years and have looked after children from babies to teenagers and feel this continuity of care plays an important role in children's development.

I received a 'GOOD' from OFSTED in December 2012.

I have a dedicated playroom which offers many learning opportunities for all children. I have a large array of toys from birth to primary age, many of which help children develop in both their prime and specific areas of learning. In addition, I have a stimulating outdoor area for all the children to enjoy an array of learning experiences.

I follow the new EYFS Curriculum so that I can work hand in hand with schools. I work very hard to teach children communication and personal, social and emotional skills so that they are ready to learn in other areas.
I am very passionate about being a part of the children's learning journey and feel I play an important role in facilitating their learning. I provide a high standard of childcare and an excellent service and I am happy to fulfil any requests a parent requires for their child or children.

I believe every child is an individual and needs to be treated that way. I work close with all my parents and offer help and advice with any concerns they have with their children. Your child would be welcomed into my home as an extended member of my family, with a home from home environment and treated with love and care. I offer a safe, secure and friendly setting.
