About Me

I am 42 years old and I've been married for 15 years and have 3 children, 2 girls that are 15 & 9 and a son who is 5.
Having used a childminder for my two eldest, I understand how important it is to find the right childcare and the pressure placed on working parents and I therefore aim to be as flexible and reliable as I can.

My Experience

I provide a warm, safe, friendly home environment with a family atmosphere in which children feel valued, can learn and develop.
I have a large selection of toys which are available to children throughout the day. I encourage supervised free-play in the morning and afternoon which helps build confidence and supports development.
I have an enclosed garden with lots of lovely equipment and toys to play with, which is always open to children. I am within walking distance of the park, woods, library and local shops, and a frequent visitor to them all!

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Good

31 October 2022

A recent inspection found that children are thriving in a safe and happy environment, forming strong bonds with the empathetic childminder. Stimulating activities promote skill development and perseverance. The curriculum, however, sometimes lacks proper sequencing to build on existing knowledge. Communication with parents about supporting learning at home could be improved. Overall, the childcare is good, with opportunities for enhancement in specific areas.
