About Me

I am an Ofsted registered child minder graded good in my last inspection. I am based in Rushall and offer childcare between 7.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday although I am willing to negotiate within reason. I have been minding for 10yrs now and I am fully committed to my work. I have three children of my own 2 girls and 1 boy, aged 13, 22 and 27 so have lots of experience with children of a variety of ages. Myself, my husband, my daughter and son have all been CRB checked. I have undertaken various training and am always looking to improve my skills by doing more. I am an excellent childminder and if you viewed my setting and met me and the children I care for you would see this. I have excellent relationships with my current families and some of my past families and I am still in contact with many ofmy past families. I offer a warm, friendly environment where children are made to feel like part of the family and allowed to grow and achieve at there own pace. I enjoy doing crafts with the children usually based around a theme e.g spring, christmas etc where we would do crafts, read relevant books and research our topic. I also enjoy taking the children out to parks, museums, farms etc. We have two goldfish and a pet cat who the children love. We have recently added a dog to our family. He is a very friendly beagle and has settled in well with the children I currently care for.

My Experience

I have undergone a child minding course with my local early years group and have attended a variety of courses relevant to my setting including first aid, food safety, managing behaviour, child protection, and training for the EYFS to ensure that I am able to meet the learning needs of children in the early years age range of 0-5. I also have three children myself and worked as a lunch time supervisor primarily with 3-5 age unit, although we were all responsible for all of the children in the school. I have recently begun working closely with my local childrens centre especially greenfields childrens centre, accessing there facilities to enable me to improve my service.

My Qualifications

introduction to child minding, managing behaviour, food safety, child protection and EYFS training a lot of my training has been done through the walsall early years team and most recently I have under gone training to enable me to become a WELLCOMM practitioner which is a communication and language screening programme allowing me to identify and develope childrens language skills where necessary

5 stars is not enough, I would give her 100!!

5 stars

Donna has minded my son since he was 6 months old and she is unbelievably fantastic with him, she is SO committed to his development and diet and we have a really good relationship. I would trust her with my life and she goes above and beyond to help us where she can. He spends his time with her doing a wide range of activities including arts and crafts, nature walks and much, much more. She has massively contributed to his speech development, motor skills, identifying colours and shapes, as well as numbers and letters. (He is now 28 months and he can account to 20 and can recite his alphabet)
As well as all of the above, she is a genuine, kind and compassionate human being that always puts the child's needs before her own. The huge hug my little boy gives her every morning is a testament to her work. We love you Donna!! Thank you so much for all your support, especially the times when I have been struggling too. Please consider her, I guarantee you wont regret it :-)

Fantastic childminder

5 stars

I came across Donna on this site and was very impressed from the first contact. My daughter has been very well looked after and has enjoyed her time at Donna's. I've never had to worry as Donna provides such a fantastic safe and happy home from home service. I also loved Donna keeping in touch with lots of photos on my daughters days. Thankyou Donna for everything you have done.

A childminder who goes out of the way

5 stars

I've used Donna as a childminder since having my last child and have found her of high standards. My child enjoys her full time placement with Donna along with my other children who attend during school holidays. Donna goes out if her way to meet my child and my needs, as I work shifts I know Donna is there in emergency. Donna has been able to take my daughter to a dance class she attends while I'm at work. After using numerous child care facilities in the past I highly recommend Donna as I've never been let down and know my children are well looked after in a secure setting with all there needs being met to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Donna as a caring experienced childminder who is 100% committed to the care and supervision of children in her care.
