My Summary
About Me
My books are currently closed.
I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. Live close to Arena Tram Stop or Norwood Junction Train Station.
We have a very warm and loving house, full of conversation, singing, music, play, encouragement and the best expectations. I take the children out everyday and enjoy creating a stimulating environment for learning and development. (I will be operating a revised Risk Assessment for outings considering the Coronavirus pandemic and necessary social distance guidelines).
I cook fresh meals everyday and love learning about healthy food choices, particularly for children. I can support gluten-free, organic, meat free and other food life choices.

Rebecca looked after our son from the age of 9 months. Her warm, caring approach meant I felt very comfortable leaving him and confident he felt safe and happy throughout the day. He enjoyed trips out to parks and playgroups as well as creative activities at home like arts and crafts and baking. Plus of course plenty of playtime including messy play and time spent outside in the garden.
A little later Rebecca began collecting our older daughter from school and she also loved her time there frequently not wanting to leave when I turned up to collect them! Rebecca has a lovely family and her children became good friends with ours. Rebecca cooks fresh, healthy, tasty meals which the children love. She is very encouraging and promotes good behaviour and kindness in a firm but fair way. My son developed a strong bond with her and it's clear that children in her care both love and respect her.
I would whole heartedly recommend Rebecca's childminding service!

Our daughter was with Rebecca from 10 months old, and really put me at ease leaving my baby so young. Our daughter was treated like part of the family, and thrived in Rebecca’s home environment. Every day was filled with educational activities, nutritious home cooked food and trips within the local area. There were lovely messages at the end of every day on the app, and photos of all the things they got up to.
We couldn’t thank Rebecca enough for how well she looked after our daughter.

We can't recommend Becky highly enough. She looked after our son as if he was part of her family.
Things that we really appreciated:
1. daily updates (and photos) in a secure app which allowed us to see what he had been getting up to
2. educational, creative games for whicch enhanced his learning and helped build his confidence
3. her lovely home environment with lots of toys and arts and crafts
4. the cupcakes he would bake and come home with (!)
5. the regular outings to the park and different playgroups
Our son loved his time with Becky and the only reason we stopped using her was because he moved into a pre-school closer to home. If you want a reliable, friendly and competant childminder then Becky should definitely be your first choice.
