My Summary
About Me
I have been childminding for 40 years and have had a wide variety of children. I offer a warm and welcoming home with a playroom full of toys, suitable for all ages. We go out most days and there are two parks within walking distance. We visit the local shops and attend mums and tots groups where the children get to mix with and learn to share with other children. This also gives me the opportunity to meet other childminders and parents.I had my ofsted inspection july 2019 and I recieved a GOOD.

I am a proud mother of 2 boys and grandmother to 4 lovely grandchildren. Over the years of my childminding career I have minded a total of 75 children, having looked after them from being babies to a school age.

Louisa has been a fantastic childminder for my son over the past year. Her dedication and experience can be seen from out of space.
He’s quite a fussy eater — mainly sticking to noodles and Chinese rice — but Louisa has been incredibly patient and supportive, working with me to gently encourage him to try new foods.
In the time she’s been caring for him, he’s made great progress — he’s now potty trained, has become noticeably more empathetic with younger children, and has picked up some really positive habits along the way.
Louisa takes him out regularly to tot groups, the park, and spends time with him in the garden, which has really helped him build confidence and social skills. She also goes out of her way to make birthdays and holidays feel special, which I truly appreciate.
She’s extremely reliable and very flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, which has made a huge difference to my work schedule and peace of mind.
Overall, it’s been a genuinely positive experience. I feel confident knowing my son is safe, well looked after, and thriving in her care.
She is second to none :)
