My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Julie Coaster, I am an Ofsted Rated Good childminder. I have been married for twenty three years and have four children of my own, I have two boys, one who lives and works in Newcastle and one currently studying for his PHD. I also have two girls one studying at University and one aged fifteen still at home. I have been a successful childminder for sixteen years. I provide a safe nurturing environment for children of all ages. I have a purpose built micro nursery which includes a potty room, changing room, kitchen and large playroom which offers resources suitable for children between newborn and thirteen years old. I provide opportunities tailored to the early years foundation stage and I also use the Montessori approach. I provide pick ups, drop offs, nappies, wipes, meals and snacks as part of my childminding package for no extra charge. I currently hold a level 5 certificate which gives me early years professional status. I would like to assure parents that I take the Covid-19 Pandemic very seriously within my setting. I have a number of procedures in place both within the setting, on visits outdoors and childminder car use to keep us all as safe as possible. Please ask for a full copy of the my Covid-19 policy when you attend for your visit.

Julie is a wonderful childminder who looked after my two children for a couple of years. She was so good with them and my kids enjoyed going with Julie. I was absolutely gutted when we moved towns as I couldn't use Julie anymore. I would recommend Julie in a heart beat she is the best around.
