About Me

I am a fun lovng Childminder in Godstone Village. My husband, Nick is registered with Ofsted as my assistant - he is also our Chef and Chauffeur.
I love going out exploring with children, we find lots of fun ways to learn , including cooking, baking, gardening, nature walks, sticking, building, running, climbing, painting, dressing up, reading and singing. I offer a huge range of activities for the children to choose from. We visit Godstone Farm or Peter Rabbit Woods in Limpsfield Chart most Days and I also run a Toddler Group (with a lovely group of Local Mums) on Monday Mornings which we attend. We also attend dance / ballet classes with Ms Madelaine at the Godstone Dance Academy (the highlight of their week!) and Monkey Music classes with Nicky Fennell.

I am a qualified Forest School Leader (level 3) / Childminder. I am an Ofsted registered childminder with over 29 years experience caring for babies and children.I am on all registers and also offer overnight and emergency care throughout the year. We are based 15 minutes from Redhill and Oxted train stations. We live within walking distance of Godstone Farm in a spacious 4 bedroom house by the Green so can offer an abundance of space for children to play, learn and have fun indoors and outdoors. I provide a safe, clean happy setting where everyone is welcome. I offer fresh home cooked meals and a wide variety of foods for children to choose from.
