My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of four boys (aged 22 to 28) and am fortunate to live in the lovely village of Hampton in Arden in a fabulous Victorian house with a generous garden.
My Experience
I have been childminding for 19 years. I have received a grading of Outstanding for my last two Ofsted inspections when I provided Early Years care. Since I changed to look after primary school age children only, the inspections are no longer graded. Most of the families whose children I currently look after have been with me a long time (up to 13 years). Hopefully that means I am doing something right! My emphasis is on having fun whilst learning at the same time, embracing challenge and not being afraid to try something new.
My Qualifications
I have a BSc Hons in Mathematics, Early Years Professional Status, NVQ 3 in Childcare as well as being a qualified Assessor and Mentor for various childcare programmes. I also hold all the usual qualifications such as Safeguarding, First Aid, Health and Safety, Food Safety and plenty more.
My Availability
As the children I look after have all grown up with me, I now only have vacancies for six to twelve year olds. Although I have regular children each week in termtime, I am happy to take additional children in the holiday periods when we go on lots of outings and have huge amounts of fun. I also offer overnight care both for regular needs and one off situations. I am currently taking bookings for holiday care - please contact me asap as I now have limited vacancies only.

Deborah looked after my 2 children (3 & 4) at a hotel for an evening (7pm-12am).
I found Deborah to be very professional, we had a video chat the week before the event so myself and my kids could meet her. On the call my kids showed her some art they had made with stickers and Deborah said she would bring some stickers with her. True to her word she brought the stickers with her which gave her instant rapport with the kids. I hung around for 5 minutes to make sure everyone was settled but my presence wasn't needed. At midnight Deborah gave me a debrief. The next day my children were sad that she wasn't there! I think that really shows that the children bonded with her over that short time. Without I doubt I'd recommend her.

Fantastic childminder. Very creative and friendly. Highly recommended. She took care of children ages 7-13 during a healthcare-related event.
