About Me

I am an OFSTED & PACEY registered and insured childminder with the added benefit of a BTEC National Diploma in Caring Services Nursery Nursing, including 18 distinctions and Three Outstanding merits. I have worked in an education setting for the past Twenty Five Years from managing my own day nursery (including Special Educational Needs Coordinator), working with the Under 8s Team at Social Services as a peripatetic play leader, managing toddler groups to working in Primary schools as a level Two Teaching Assistant for the past 8 Years, previous to becoming a full-time childminder in 2010.

I have a son, Benjamin (16) and a daughter, Abigail (19) My husband Christopher works with me as my part-time assistant and business manager (fully licensed, First Aid trained etc...), He has worked with-in education as a Primary School Key Stage One and Two Teacher for 25 years before joining me in running the business. We also have two cats!

I enjoy working with children and accepting them into our home, I aim to make them feel part of the family.

I firmly believe that all children have the right to access any form of play, Early Years Child Provision, no matter what their capabilities are, and always put their concerns first.

Children thrive in stimulating environments and I work hard to make sure I provide one through the planning and the daily activities and the rooms we are using.

I am a member of the Forest Schools Childcare Association. This means I value outdoor activities highly and take the children to different outdoor settings on a regular basis.

Our home is warm, happy and welcoming and I aim to offer a happy, nurturing, friendly environment for your little ones to thrive in so you can happily leave them in my care.

I offer a variety of stimulating activities covering all the areas of development and will plan activities to cover a child's age/stage of development.

I'm lucky to have a nice sized enclosed garden for the children to have fun in and also Sutton lawn within walking distance so lots of outside activities daily and also visit play groups, soft play centres, library's, other local parks.

All healthy meals, snacks and drinks are included at my setting.

Recent OFSTED inspection as of December 2019 rated as good with outstanding features.

My Availability

We are also registered to accept children on the new 15-30 hour scheme from April at the age of 2 and from September 24 at the age of 9 months.

We are registered with Notts County Council to accept all funding.


For a 3 or 4 yr old, most people don't realise that when their child goes to Nursery that is a funded place. We are registered to also accept the funding so if you'd prefer to not use a nursery or maybe they are full or aren't doing an intake at the moment, we can help with no cost to yourself.

I try to take my holidays during the school holidays so please be aware there may be some holidays where I'm not able to look after your children.

We currently don't do pickups and drop offs at local schools.

As a business we are fully Covid secure and have all risk assessments and procedures in place.
