About Me

My name is Jo. I have been registered with Ofsted as a childminder since September 2013. I am 57 years old and live in the lovely village of Marsh Gibbon with my husband and son. We have 1 small dog who is very friendly and loves children. We also have 2 cas, 4 chickens and 2 ducks. We have a lovely large secure garden which the children make the most of. I am very enthusiastic and love looking after children. I particularly like art and craft play. There is a small park in the village and plenty of opportunity for Nature walks and picnics. I have full knowledge and understanding of EYFS (Early years Foundation Scheme). Also I have completed a paediatric first aid course.

My Experience

I have been registered for 12 years and have looked after a range of children from 5 months to ten years. I was also a registered childminder many years ago when my daughter was small.
