My Summary
About Me
SnuggleBugs Childcare welcome you!
My name is Katie Bodenham, aged 37, and I work from my 3 bed house with my soon to be husband. We live on Dacre Park, with our daughter (born February 2023), cats, guinea pigs and hamster. Situated very close to Blackheath, about 5/10 minutes walk from the station. We have an assistant and a cleaner who help us to ensure the children are getting the best from their time here.
My Experience
I have an NVQ3 in childcare and about 17 years professional childcare experience within schools and nurseries. I nannied for about 7 years after leaving nurseries both privately and for agencies then opened my childminding business about 6 years ago now.
My Qualifications
I studied for a NVQ3 Childcare while working in nurseries and have been on many child development courses plus am very familiar with the EYFS due to my professional background.

My child spent 2 years with snuggle bugs and I honestly believe it was one of our best decisions to choose this setting for her.
My shy , socially anxious child opened up so much and made some true friends here. Katie really went above and beyond to help her gaining confidence.
Such a home like, kind and caring atmosphere and it`s still professional.
I can nothing but recommend it.

Katie’s SnuggleBugs childcare met all our expectations and more (and we were very rigorous with our questions and standards). We found her childcare setting to be warm and caring, with lots of stimulation and different activities. The communication was also excellent. We moved house, but would still use Snugglebugs in a heartbeat if we were in the area
