About Me

I am married and have one child of my own who is now grown up . I used a childminder myself when my son was young so understand the concerns of parents having to leave their children with someone else and know how hard it is to do so. I llive in a bungalow with a fairly large garden which gets a lot of use (especially in the nicer weather) We do lots of messy play such as painting , cooking, sticking, planting( e.g. sunflowers and potatoes )and glooping. We go out and about to local parks, rhyme time at local libraries, childminding groups,Itchen Valley Country park and Marwell Zoo, I try to do activities and learning experiences to meet your child’s interests. I have some lovely references from parents whose children I used to look after and also from parents whose children I still care for . I use daily diaries, learning journals and am always happy to chat to parents at the end of each day about what your child has been doing.

I have been childminding for 25 years. My Ofsted grade is Outstanding. I have worked with children aged from three months to fourteen years old. I have also worked with children with delayed speech and some with quite severe allergies.
