My Summary
About Me
I am an OFSTED registered childminder. I am a kind, enthusiatic and bubbly person. I enjoy working with children and helping them to grow socially, emotionally and academically. I enjoy long walks with my dog, experiencing different enviroments as well as spending time at home.
Whilst looking after your child they will experience a range of activities in my home and garden. Such as: messy play, construction, imaginative role play, baking and music and dance. We will also spend time exploring the local area and will have regular outings to the park, toddler group and to Howe Park.
My Experience
I was a childminder when my own two children were young. I then became a Teaching Assistant in a primary school for 16 years, where I worked with children from foundation to year 4. During my time as a teaching assistant I lead small group activties and interventions. I also helped each child in the class to reach their full potential and develop a greater curiosity towards the world around them.

My daughter has been going to Dawns for 3months now. Dawn offers a homely, caring & fun environment.
My daughter enjoys going every week. She is regularly out walking with the children, visiting the woods & parks etc. She also does lots of activities, singing & reading.
Dawn is flexible & always does her best to accommodate any changes or additional days when the need arises.
I never have to worry as I know my daughter is in great hands.
I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone's looking for a childminder.

I was very nervous to send my 1st child to childminder couple of months ago. I was worried he was not going to get enough play time, or good home food, or opportunities to learn, or enough fresh air... And then I met Dawn, she is AMAZING and reminds me of my own mother!
My son is only 15 months old but is learning songs and games at Dawns. They go out all the time and she cooks great home made meals for the kids every single day.
I am no longer nervous and can relax when I drop my son off to hers because I know he is in great hands.

Dawn is a fantastic childminder who our son has been going to for 5 months now. He has formed a wonderful bond with her in that time and asks about her during the week on days he is at home.
Dawn provides a home from home for our son, with daily walks, park visits, well-thought out activities such as making learning resources (items to find in boxes, pots and pans to bang and wind chimes in the garden), sorting activities etc. She also provides nutritious homemade meals and plenty of verbal and physical stimulation and opportunities for development for our 2 year old.
I feel our son is in safe hands with Dawn and she clearly cares about him. We feel lucky to have found her and rate her verily highly indeed.
