My Summary
About Me
I live in the centre of Four Marks with my husband and 2 children (one is at university and one is at college). We also have a cockapoo, 2 cats, a gecko and fish. I have been Ofsted registered since June 2001. I am open Monday to Thursday from 8am until 5.00pm. I have a dedicated play room filled with a stimulating range of toys and equipment. I use both my lounge and upstairs space to provide quiet sleeping surroundings. In addition I have a large garden equipped with toys and equipment from paint and chalk easels, slides and ride ons to water and mud tables/toys for all ages to enjoy. I aim to provide each child with care and attention in my home from home environment giving a safe and secure place to thrive, whilst learning through play and having fun.
My Experience
Registered since June 2001 caring for different aged children. As a mother of 3 children I have my own experiences and those of the children which I have cared for and have since left, ranging from babies to school aged children. I sometimes have children in the school holidays that I have cared for from babies some of which have been with me for 8 years. I attend courses regularly to ensure I can give the best service. As I have been childminding for a long time I was checked using a CRB which was later replaced by a DBS.

NVQ 3 in childcare 2011.

Advanced child protection.
Health and Safety
Rated excellent in 'safe to eat' inspected by East Hamsphire District Council.

Our family of three children has been supported by Tina from their first childminder experience onwards. Once she takes a child on she really does whatever she can to support the child and their family. I cannot think of anyone I would recommend more.
