About Me

hello,my name is cindy and i am the mother of three boys ages 33,30 and 14 years old.we have cats called Otis and foster , a 9yodog called missy,i was a childminder when my elder boys were young and have returned to it when my youngest was a baby.i love working with children and having the freedom to plan my days around the children,a friend is also a childminder and we work closely together with the children in our care,i attend lots of local groups that provide activities for the children to play and interact with each other,i do school runs to st louis in newmarket and am willing to consider other school runs as and when they fit in with the existing children and my own routine.i had a good rating at my last inspection.i also use modern media and texts to update parents sometimes about things their children may do or say in my care(with parents permisson of course),some appreciate this contact and feel more involved whilst i am looking after their children.would consider racing hours if it fits in with routine at that time.

My Experience

I can't tell you how wonderful Cindy is as a childminder.
They are always out doing things, playgroup, trips to park, zoo, play parks.
Hand on my heart after having a very bad experience with another childminder I was 'scared ' about leaving my children with another childminder!
Cindy has made such a difference to my children's life has taught them so much, I truly thank her for that, can't recommend this amazing woman highly enough. Not only is she a excellent childminder she's also a very dear family friend now x
