My Summary
About Me
Hello and welcome to Cheeky Monkeys (Radcliffe). My name is Vicky, I am an Ofsted registered Childminder and was graded Outstanding on my first inspection in April 2019. I am currently awaiting my second Ousted inspection.
I have been with my husband Andy since 2009, and we have one daughter together called Charlotte who was born in July 2014. I also have 2 older sons from a previous marriage called Matthew (born July 2001) and Luke (born September 2004). The majority of my spare time is dedicated to quality family time, however I do really enjoy my weekends in the garden relaxing and spending time with friends.
Until having my daughter in 2014, my whole working career was spent within the Textile Industry working for the lead brand “Dorma”. I worked for the company for over 20 years, and had great opportunities to travel the world to places such as India, China, New York, and Germany. After having Charlotte, I decided that I didn’t want to return to the office world and turned my attention to childcare. I love watching children to grow and develop, and it just seemed like the most natural decision in the world to make. I am now fully trained for Paediatric First Aid (Level 3), I have completed my Level 2 training in Food Safety, completed my Safeguarding Children training, and have also completed a Channel General Awareness course. As part of the training I have attended Childminder Workshops (EYFS), to ensure I have the knowledge required under the EYFS Guidelines.
I provide a safe, loving and homely environment, providing many stimulating toys and activities for children throughout the early years and primary age range. Children are encouraged to learn through their play, and next steps are encouraged using the children’s interests. I will provide suitable developmental experiences appropriate to the age and stage of development of each child. I will support and stimulate children’s social, physical, intellectual, communication and emotional development and build learning into every day activities rather than ‘formal learning’.
Within my home I have an outdoor garden, where the children will be able to play every day within a safe and secure area. I also have some lovely walks within a few minutes of the setting.
My Experience
I have 3 children of my own, and have all the training requirements needed by Ofsted, Cheeky Monkeys has been caring for children since February 2017. During that time I have had the pleasure of working with a number of children (age range 10 months - 4 years)

My son was the first child too start cheeky monkeys and from the first moment I walked in,I've never felt so secure,safe and relaxed in a setting like cheeky monkeys and most importantly,the bond Vicky Morrison has with the children in her care is unbelievable !! Not only has vicky taught him so many things,which shows the progress he's made in his development,as he was very delayed in all areas,so Vicky worked hard along side other professionals to make sure my son was getting every bit of help possible.Communication was outstanding,always being provided with pictures and infomation throughout the days.Everything was done very thorough,including regular invoices and daily diarys via email and wotsapp,so never did I ever worry about my childs safety whilst he was in Vicky's care.My son has had the best 7mths there just a shame it couldn't of been longer. Never have I ever felt so gutted for him too be leaving,to start his new journey into big school but at least he has been given the best start he could possibly have,thanks to cheeky monkeys ?
