About Me

My name is Catherine (Cath) Bent, I've been an Ofsted registered childminder for 20 years. I've been married to Chris for 25years.

I live in a cul de sac on a popular estate in Newton le Willows. (Birds). Close to two local Schools and also Parks.

I offer a home from home childcare service, with a large selection of toys and equipment for children from newborn - 5 years. My conservatory is a "play room", and a child friendly enclosed garden.

I have a 4 year old 'Westiepoo' dog who is part of the family. (Hypo allergenic, 2 asthmatics live here with no issues)

Living close to the park for outdoor play, I also take children to Playcentres so they can "run off" energy in a safe environment, especially in our wonderful wet winters.

I am registered with St Helen's Council, and I also offer funded childcare from the term following 2nd/3rd birthdays (2 year funding where applicable)

15 hours 2/3/4year olds and also 30 hours 3 & 4 years old.

My Experience

I'm a mother of 2 boys now aged 21 & 19 years,(both DBS checked and first aid trained) as I've been childminding 20 years it's all my boys have known to have other children in the home. They love their "extended family". My husband works shifts so can sometimes be found at the park with us on his "rest days"...

I have cared for children from 3 months onwards, and have worked with some famliles for 5+ years.
