About Me

I'm a registered childminder in Daventry and a mother of an extraordinary boy called Kyle. I live with my husband, Jason, in a child-friendly, non-smoking home with a garden. We have two well-behaved cockapoo's Roxie & Coco, and two tortoise's Oreo & Cookie. I have a BA (Honours) Education Studies (Primary) Degree - 2.1 , which I achieved in my spare time at Open University. I offer a safe, trusting, secure, loving, fun, active home for all the children I Childmind. I am an Ofsted rating Good Childminder.

I am a Cub Scout Leader and Explorer Leader at Ashby Fields Scout Group and take children away camping through out the year. I also enjoy supporting and helping out within the local community at Daventry Rugby club and was the chair of Staverton PTA for over 4 years.

I drop off and collect from Staverton Primary School Daventry ONLY.

My aim is to provide attentive, sensitive care to children ensuring they are at all times they are, safe, secure, happy, stimulated and are in comfortable surroundings.

I treat each child as I would my own and at the heart of this is listening and talking to each child because they all matter to me. I offer a safe, trusting, secure, loving, fun, active home for all the children I child mind.

My Experience

I aim to provide a normal daily routine and environment incorporating all the things a child would ordinarily encounter with their parents. I follow and I am guided by the children's interest/s and the EYFS frame work.

I plan the children’s day to make the most of the opportunities available to them, both here at my home as well as out and about in the community. I believe that children with me have the best start in life.

To give you an idea of what we do: We play in the garden, go on country walks, go to groups, to the library, do craft and messy play, sing songs, reading, dress up, play with construction toys, imaginative play, sand, play dough, puzzles, card and board games, play in cardboard boxes, make cakes, use the computer and any combination of the above and much more, I follow and am guided by the children's interests.

My Qualifications

I'm Ofsted registered, fully qualified and follow the EYFS framework. I'm fully insured, hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate, and have an Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure. I have attended Specialist Safeguarding and have a Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People's Workforce (Childcare). I have a BA (Honours) Education Studies (Primary) Degree - 2.1 , which I achieved in my spare time at Open University. I am a fully qualified Cub and Explorer leader a my local scout group.

My Availability

My Availability
I can offer various hours, from full-time to part-time, and my general working hours are Monday-Friday, 8 am- 18.00 pm. These times are flexible.

I also pick up and drop off at Staverton primary school only.

Please contact me to check availability as it can change very quickly and my places are limited by Ofsted to keep my adult to child ratios low.

I currently have spaces available.

Good
28 January 2025
A warm and welcoming environment awaits children at this early years setting. The curriculum is tailored to children's interests, fostering positive attitudes towards learning. Physical development is promoted through outdoor activities and fine motor skill exercises. Language skills are supported through modeling and conversation. Independence and self-care are encouraged. While interactions are generally strong, more time could be given for children to respond to questions.
