About Me

My name is Catharine. I am an Ofsted registered childminder working in the upper Lincoln Area. I have had this as my career now for several years and absolutely love every minute of my working day. I pride myself in offering excellent home from home care for the children, a support system for families when needed and flexibility within my working week to ensure that life is made easier for the parents I work with.
I work with my husband Craig which has proved to work really well for the setting as we are able to offer better flexibility and also the children really enjoy having that male influence within their day. He is DBS checked and holds a full paediatric first aid qualification.
Myself and Craig have two children of our own, one who is diagnosed ADHD so together as a team we have good knowledge through qualifications but also experience in dealing with children who have additional needs.

The service we provide involves going above and beyond for all children. My aim is to ensure that all children are school ready for when they leave my setting and start mainstream education. That they develop at their own pace in a fun and loving environment! We support each child with their areas of struggle and we celebrate every milestone that is achieved.

Our weeks consist of days within the setting focusing on our main areas of development through play, trips to local nature walks, parks, the farm, Bransby horses and we even have our own allotment where the children enjoy playing in nature and planting our own vegetables.

We currently pick up and drop off at Lincoln Castle Academy, Mount Street Academy and Westgate Academy.

My Experience

I have been childminding now for 7 years. I started my business when my own two boys were babies, they have now progressed to school Jack being 8 and Jayden being 7years old.
I have worked with many families and children over the years, learning how each child has their own unique personalities and needs. Some needs have required additional training which I am always willing to learn so happy to complete any courses to gain the skills and knowledge required.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
1 June 2021
A recent inspection found that children are happy and secure in this welcoming childcare setting. They form positive relationships with their caregiver and peers, benefiting from a safe environment that supports their development. The setting places a strong emphasis on language and communication skills, with the caregiver actively encouraging children's vocabulary growth. While the overall assessment is positive, the report suggests improving communication with all parents about their children's achievements, particularly those not seen daily.

Home from home

5 stars

Home from home.. Catharine's really lovely, and the home setting is fab. My daughter goes after school and she always comes out with a smile on her face, having had fun. Catharine's been really accommodating and supportive and it's really helped with the transition into a new job- for me and Stella.
