My Summary
About Me
I live in Colden Common just south of Winchester with my husband, our 2 grown up children and our daughter who is at secondary school.
My home offers a warm, friendly and relaxed environment with plenty of space. I offer a variety of resources for the children to help them develop and grow while having fun and playing. These include craft, malleable materials, messy play and baking to name but a few. I also have a good sized garden for the children to be active in with a two story Wendy house, climbing frame with slide, large sunken trampoline, sand pit and a ball pit with over 3500 balls inside. I also have some quiet areas if they feel like sitting and doing a puzzle or reading etc.
One of the things we really enjoy is taking the children on our out and about sessions where we explore the natural world around us. These sessions are run in all weather looking at bugs, the weather, changes to our seasons and wildlife. I do these sessions around the village, in the woods and at the local country parks.
My normal working hours are between 7:30am to 6pm. I can be flexible during these hours so please contact me to discuss the hours you require. I am available all year round and also offer term time only contracts.
I am Ofsted registered, DBS checked. a registered Pacey member, I'm registered with the ICO.
