My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Charmaine, and I have worked in childcare for over 24 years. Previously working in schools and nurseries before taking the decision to become a childminder.
Most resources are made with natural materials and are at the children's height, so they can freely pick and choose and add to their play.
Weekly we attend playgroups, parks, and libraries. We also go on bike rides and walks through the forest.
I very much follow the children's interest so we may also have a cooking session, or jump in muddy puddles (Paddle suits provided)
My Experience
I have a passion for working with children and a sound knowledge of childcare practices gained both from academic study and on-the-job experience, which was reflected in my last inspection report as I was graded "Outstanding" by Ofsted.
I accept all children between 8 months and 4 years old.

My Son has been with Charmaine since he was a baby. He absolutely loves it! Kai settled in very quickly with Charmaine and I feel so at ease leaving Kai with her. She looks after Kai as though he is her own! Charmaine provides varies activities for the children and I have noticed how Kai just keeps on thriving and developing more and more. Charmaine a care is outstanding!! I would highly recommend.
