About Me
Hi my name is Shelley
I have been working as a childminder since 2011 and thoroughly enjoy my job. In November 2015 i was graded outstanding by ofsted. I work wiith babies and children up to age 12 from my home and provide both full and part time places as well as Government funded places for 2-4 year olds.
I am married and have 3 adult children, 2 step children and 4 grandchildren, whom I love spending time with. We have a fun and friendly dog and cat.
My setting is a detached house with a large garden and play area. There are a variety of resources to facilitate teaching and learning towards the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Planned activities, indoors and outdoors will help each child reach their next stepping stone in a fun, interactive way. Visits to toddler groups, parks, library etc are planned during the week. My environment is caring, enjoyable and safe in order for children to secure and happy.
My Experience
I have previously worked as a primary school teacher for 13 years, working with children from 4-11 years old before deciding to work as an ofsted registered childminder. I have an excellent working knowledge of the Early Years Curriculum and the National Curriculum for older children.
Prior to teaching I was a nurse at the local hospital and then a carer in the community.
Both in my teaching career and personal life I have had extensive experience with a variety of special needs including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, Autism, Aspergers Syndrome and Downs Syndrome

Shelley has been outstanding with our daughter who is a fiery and strong willed little girl and can be challenging. Shelly's patience and care and what I can only describe as love for izzy is amazing we were meant to meet a few child minders when we were looking. But shelly was the first we met and we stopped looking straight away. Thank you for taking such outstanding care of izzy x

Both my children and my friends children have all gone to Shelley’s home for childcare (until school age). We knew as soon as we met Shelley and visited her lovely home that our children would love it there (and her!).
The fact that the children get hot home cooked food and that they get taken to different places everyday was a real selling point to us.
Shelley is a really loving person and cared for my children as her own. She is a lot more flexible than any nursery and would highly recommend her. Thankyou for looking after my two Shelley, you’ve been a star and will be thoroughly missed!

Shelley has looked after my little girl & boy since 2011 and they have loved every second of it! They look forward to going, and we have never had a grumpy face! (They actually want to stay when I go to pick them up!!) They enjoy all the toys and attention & especially the home cooked food! They also love the outside play, crafting, and the parks they have nearby inwhich they go regularly! Shelley is the best! x
