About Me

I am a mature Childminder registered with Ofsted and am able to offer the free 15 / 30 hour funding for under 2's as well as for 2/3 & 4 year olds (subject to criteria satisfaction). Among others, I hold an up to date DBS; child development; food safety level 1 and a paediatric first aid certificates, amongst others.

I care for both full-time, part-time and school-run where possible as well as babies and children from birth.

I supply all snacks / drinks / wipes and nappy creams, (unless prescribed by a doctor).
I am happy to provide dinners - although if your child is weaning I ask that any baby foods are provided. Dinners may be sent by parents as packed lunches, if preferred - this way you know / can control what your child is eating on a daily basis.

The only things I don't supply are nappies / formula and specialised / jars etc of baby foods. My fees include costs incurred for most outings and treats such as ice-creams - There may be an outing on the rare occasion, when a contribution would be requested, eg. a visit to the zoo etc.

My Experience

I have 3 children of my own children , 1 of whom attends school full-time another has just finished college and the eldest is working locally.
We also have Smokey, (the cat), 2 terrapins and a collection of fish along with Ruby / April & Spartacus (our 3 shi-tsu dogs).

I am a qualified Primary school teacher. I have been working with / caring for children for almost 27 years - 14 of which have now been through Childminding.
As a teacher I worked with children from Nursery to Year 6 and with a full range of abilities & disabilities.

I have a range of indoor and outdoor equipment, such as slides, books, and other assorted age related resources for ages ranging from young babies to 11 years. I regularly take the children to local parks - dependent on the weather - and to age related playgroups, eg. toddler groups & soft play centres etc.

My Qualifications

I currently hold all relevant childminding qualifications and certificates, such as paediatric first aid; oral health; child development, food hygiene / safety, data protection, Level 3 Senco; business insurance for my car and personal liability insurance (PLI).

I keep up-to-date with new policies / government initiatives and regularly go on training courses in the evenings, at weekends and online .

I gained an Ofsted grading, in May of 2019, as 'Good'.

My Availability

I am available monday to Friday, 07:30 am to 4.30 / 5.00pm, but can be flexible, to a point, in this. Please feel free to message me if your requirements lie outside of these times.

My Fees

  • Childminding from £6.00 per hour

These are in-line with other childminders in the area and are lower than many nurseries, with more flexibility in terms of hours/ holidays etc..
.
I offer very competitive discounts where childcare is needed for siblings.

The best thing I can advise here is to give me a ring on the number found on the website or message me through the system, to arrange a mutually convenient meeting time so we can discuss your needs fully.

My Local Schools

  • I provide drop offs and pick ups at St Mary's RC Primary School

Good
4 November 2024
Children benefit from an experienced and enthusiastic caregiver who prioritizes their safety and happiness. The childminder plans learning activities based on observations and child development knowledge, maintaining regular communication with parents. Physical development is well-supported through outdoor play. Improvements could be made in enhancing adult-led activities to increase engagement and supporting children's independence and problem-solving skills.
