About Me

I am 30 years old and am level 6 qualified in childcare. I have achieved my degree, this year and I am very proud of that! I have been a nanny for ten years and I am now registering as a childminder at my home in Addlestone.

As an experienced and imaginative Early Years Practitioner, I'm qualified to support your child’s early learning and development from birth to 5 years. I deliver the same Early Years Foundation Stage framework that nurseries do. However, with a small number of similar aged children I'm able to devote more time and attention to their welfare and development and work very closely with you to provide bespoke childcare.
I enjoy a variety of activities with children to help support them with their development including arts and crafts and messy play. I’m proactive and love to create an active routine for the children in my care. I’ve got a great network of nanny’s and childminders local to Addlestone/Weybridge, which ensures children in my care get plenty of opportunities to socialise with other children of similar ages. I also have a son who is 2 years old.

I offer a minimum of 2 full days per week to ensure that your child forms the secure attachment needed to develop strong social and emotional skills. It also provides the best start for your child whilst maintaining the harmony of the existing group of children.
Your child will be kept safe in a warm, happy, healthy and clean home from home environment as you return to work. I've arranged my home so that children have space to learn and develop. My living room and kitchen are open plan which ensures the children are always within sight and sound. I have a small garden and strive to ensure children are taken out daily to a variety of different settings, parks, softplays and national trusts. I understand how much children can learn from being outside and will encourage your child to embrace the freedom of the outdoor space. We often explore Wisley, Claremont, Bushy park and so many other local outdoor spaces.

As part of your team you are guaranteed that I will be as flexible as I can to help and support you. You can benefit from my years of experience, all of which will contribute to making your life run as smoothly as possible. As part of your team we can be sure of building strong foundations adding to your child's confidence and self-esteem. Alongside the multitude of fun activities that I undertake with children, I ensure that they receive instant feedback for their achievements. Social skills, friendships and positive behaviour are both reinforced and encouraged.

I am currently registering with Ofsted as a childminder and will hopefully be up and running as a new childminder setting in Addlestone-from October.
