My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Dawn and I’m an OFSTED registered childminder offering quality childcare in a family environment. Every child in my care is treated as part of the family so will always feel valued and included. The children go outside every day in the garden or on outings to local parks, playgroups, soft play and the beach. At home I provide a variety of engaging activities including cooking, painting, Play-Doh, glitter, stickers, stamping, sand and water play and lots more :) I have a fully enclosed back garden and a playroom filled with many educational toys and resources made easily accessible for the children. I am an extremely reliable person and easy to talk to so please contact me for an informal chat. I look forward to hearing from you.

My Daughter has been minded by Dawn for a year now and she is thriving!! Not only does Dawn work with her on everything at her own pace and her abilities but anything I mention to Dawn she has been working with at home is continued in the minded environment. My next child will also be with Dawn as soon as I return to work from maternity leave as I trust her wholeheartedly! We were fairly new to the area when we first met and from the second of meeting Dawn i felt so at ease and reassured by her skills. Most days my daughter does not want to leave Dawn come pick up time as she is just too happy there!

Dawn has been great for my 2 year old boy, he's really progressed during his time with her.
The at home childcare environment is perfect with one of the highlights for my Son being being Bobbie the parrot.
Communication with Dawn is great we've had constant updates and photos throughout the day.
Having had some poor experiences with childcare in the past Dawn really helped to reassure us and make us comfortable again. There has always been a great variety of activities, play groups, days out, soft play etc.
Highly recommend using Dawn.

Dawn has been outstanding in every area with my two children. The progress they made with Dawn was excellent. She incorporates learning in fun activities and both our children flourished. The meals are packed with nutrients and made exciting. She is 100% devoted to their care and updates regularly on their progress. They are now in school but we continue to use Dawn once a month due to Dawn's care and compassion for our children.
