My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder. Primary School Teacher For 14 Years. Ba Hons Degree Eys Education
About Me
Welcome to Sunshine and Rainbows Childminding, a place where children can thrive in a home-like environment. My name is Kate, and I have been a dedicated Primary School Teacher for the past 14 years. With a wealth of experience in education, I have decided to embark on a new journey as an Ofsted registered childminder based in Tettenhall.
As a parent myself, I understand the significance of finding the perfect childminder for your little ones. It can be a daunting task to entrust your most precious treasures to someone new. However, after experiencing the exceptional care and opportunities provided by two amazing childminders for my own sons, I was inspired to create a nurturing and stimulating space for children in our local community.
At Sunshine and Rainbows Childminding, I am committed to offering children a creative and enjoyable start to their early years. By tailoring activities to their individual interests, we will foster a love for learning through play both within our dedicated, spacious playroom and during our exciting outings. From parks and soft-play centres to playgroups and community interactions, every day will be filled with adventure and discovery.
Our opening hours from 7.30am to 5pm, all year round (excluding my pre-arranged holidays), provide flexibility and convenience for working families. While we observe bank holidays, we are open to discussing occasional exceptions. Additionally, I offer St Jude's Primary School drop-offs and pick-ups for added convenience (WV6 0DT).
If you or someone you know is in search of exceptional childcare, I would be delighted to hear from you. Please don't hesitate to reach out and arrange a time to discuss your child's unique needs and how Sunshine and Rainbows Childminding can provide them with a truly enriching experience.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to the opportunity to welcome your child into our warm and nurturing environment.

Kate and her family looked after my 3yr LB and he had the best time. Extremely accommodating and got pictures of updates. My son was sad to leave and would like to return. This was one off care due to working location but if I am do be in the area again I would definitely be calling on Kate. Thank you so much!!!

I just want to say thank you so much for taking good care of my son Shi. He has learned so much from you in such a short space of time. He loves learning and is so proud that he's learned to write his name.
He enjoys his trips to the library, baking sausage rolls, making fruit kebabs and attending soft play.
You genuinely care about the children you care for and work so hard for them to reach their full potential.
Thank you Kate ☺️
