About Me
Hello!
My name is Catherine & I’m an Ofsted registered Childminder in Purley. I’m 40 years of age & I have two children of my own. My son is 6 and my daughter is 3 years . My son attends school in Coulsdon. I’m originally from Ireland but I’ve been living in the UK 15 years now.
I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your child's growth and development. This includes engaging in indoor and outdoor fun activities, home made nutritious meals, and ample opportunities for learning and play.
We have a lovely safe detached home, on a quiet cul de sac road with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to explore & learn through. We are 10/12 min walk to Purley station & less than 10 mins walk to Christchurch school,Purley Nursery School & Cumnor House. We have easy car access and parking outside my home.
Please reach out for any of your childcare enquiries regardless of your circumstance!
I would love to hear from you
Catherine :)
