About Me

My name is Diane. I am 55 years old. I have two full grown boys, who live in their own houses. I started minding in March 2016 and have recently been graded another GOOD by Ofsted. I am in an ideal location for families living in Littleborough who travel into Rochdale. I do pick up/ drop off at Kentmere school

I provide a warm, safe, friendly home environment with a family atmosphere in which children feel valued, can play, learn and develop. Children receive a lot of individual attention whilst enjoying interaction with others.

I appreciate that parents are the most important people in a child's life and therefore I will consult with parents on all aspects of their child's care.

There is a play park at the front of our house where children can enjoy the swings. I believe in the importance of outdoor play and will include this in our daily routine. I will regularly take the children to Hollingworth Lake, Wardle Reservoir and parks close by. I also use the local Children's Centres, Toddler groups and library and take the children on trips further afield to museums and farms.

I have a large living area which the children can enjoy. I have a huge variety of toys such as small world, home corner, building bricks, puzzles, books and plenty of arts and craft materials and junk modelling to keep us busy. I also bake with the children.

I provide the children with healthy home cooked meals and snacks at no extra charge. I try to include the children as much as possible when planning our weekly menu and I also involve them in cooking the evening meal once a week, I have experience catering for different dietary requirements such as gluten / lactose free, vegetarian and Halal.

I understand how important it is for you as a parent and also your child to feel settled in my home and therefore I offer a settling in period where you can gradually introduce your child to my home by having a series of visits before your child is left in my care. Message for further information
