About Me

I have 2 children of my own and and a husband who is CRB checked for home based childminding as he is living with me. My girls are 6 and 11, they are very caring little girls.
We have 2 loving family pet dogs called Mac and Rolo.

I have two assistants that work alongside me, Michelle is nearly finished her level 3 apprenticeship, Ayesha is my sister/assistant who is unqualified but has 4 children of her own and with one having needs she has special needs experience too.

Hannah & Marisa are my sisters who help me with the kitchen and cooking the meals for the children.

We like the children to have a cooked meal at tea time, We love to encourage our children to eat a healthy lunch and a light healthy tea with snacks throughout the day that include fruit and breadsticks or crackers.. milk for snack time and water is available for lunch and through out the day, we work on a 3 week rotation menu provided from the nursery catering company.

We are open Tuesday to Friday 9-5

We emailed Alice because we needed urgent last minute childcare and she responded so quickly and was able to find a solution for us right away, we were so relieved. We didn't end up going with her because our situation suddenly changed but I will definitly keep her name in mind as it is rare nowadays to find such a reliable person.

Alice was very pleasant to deal with. Her communication was excellent and she was very accommodating. Her home was welcoming with lots of indoor and outdoor toys and my little boy clearly enjoyed being there.

I’ve not been with Alice long, but since I have my kids love going so much to the point when I collect they don’t want to leave. Her two girls are lovely and get along well with my kids. I have 4 kids who attend with Alice aged 8,5,3,1. I highly recommend to anyone to use Alice’s childminding services 5*
