My Summary
About Me
We have now been childminding for over 10 years. We are a partnership (Lorna and Safia)
Safia has two children and five grandchildren.
She likes sports including golf.
Her interests include sewing, knitting, painting and arts and crafts, walking and gardening, not necessarily in that order!
Safia loves musicals and music of all kinds, including singing (I am informed I do this badly, but in my head the orchestra is playing and I sound great).
Lorna has three children of her own. Only the 16 year old stays at home now.
Lorna has a dog. She is a malshipoo and loves the children and enjoys playing and joining in the fun.
Lorna enjoys music/gigs, reading and walking,
We take the children to toddler groups, parks, wooded walks and lots of other outings. We have a large garden with lots of activities for outdoor play. From football goals to basketball and a mud kitchen along with a play area, which includes a swing and slide, we meet up regularly with other childminders and nannies. This gives the children a wide variety of different ages to socialise with and also a wide variety of resources to enhance their learning and development.
We take the children on planned outings further a field on occasion during the summer holidays.
We currently have a separate area for childminding which we have found a great asset to the business, as the children have their own space and they have all had input into the decoration and the layout of the rooms.
We are keen to allow the children to learn and grow at their own pace and allow them as much free play as possible.
My Experience
We have both worked with children for many years, from babies to teenagers. We enjoy looking after them by planning interesting and appropriate activities with the aim of helping them to develop into confident individuals.

My wee boy LOVES going to Lorna and Safia. They keep him very busy, whether it’s in the garden, at a toddler group, soft play or sledging when there’s snow. They go above and beyond for him and are always willing to help out if we need extra help. They are both very friendly and you can see how much the other kids love and respect them. Our boy started with them nearly 2 years ago and loves every minute. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
