My Summary
About Me
Hi i am Suzy McArthur a mum myself to 3 girls, i am an Ofsted registered childminder and i have run Brookwood Childcare for 9 years now and employ 2 assistant's Sam & Emma, I was Ofsted inspected in June 2013, January 2018, and then September 2023 and rated as good on all inspections. We all pride ourselves on continuity of care in a friendly and caring environment. We use the ground floor of my house which has a large conservatory for sand, water and messy play, arts and crafts etc and a selection of pre-school aged toys that are both educational and fun. The living room is spacious and equipped with play mats, musical instruments and toys for the learning and development of babies and younger children. There is a good sized kitchen for enjoying meals and having lots of fun baking and cooking. I also have a large enclosed garden to explore and enjoy nature as well as outside play.
Brookwood is located in a lovely rural setting based in Staxton with close proximity to the A64. All food that we provide is freshly prepared on the premises and much of the vegetables are from a local allotment.
