About Me

I have recently relocated to Somerton, South Somerset and am looking forward to continuing to Childmind in my home based setting. My fees include meals and outings. Mine is a non smoking household, and I do not have any pets. I have a great deal of experience and am able to provide both verbal and written references. My provision focusses on supporting babies and toddlers to develop secure relationships, in a small nurturing setting, thus enhancing their social and emotional well-being. I work within the EYFS framework offering stimulating indoor/outdoor activities linked to the children's interests, and I work closely with parents. I will be attending local toddler groups and am looking forward to taking the children to the many outdoor facilities that South Somerset has to offer.

My Experience

I have many years experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I have attended several courses to support my practice, including a BA Hons Degree in Early Years. I am a member of PACEY, and hold a current First Aid Certificate.

My Qualifications

NVQ 2,3 and 4. BA Hons Degree. All qualifications relate to Early Years, including child development, delivering EYFS, safeguarding, working in partnership with parents.

My Availability

I am available 48 weeks per year, working Monday to Thursday 7.30-6.30.

Outstanding childminder

5 stars

You would be extremely lucky to have Sue as a childminder. She looked after my daughter from being 9 months old until she was 8 and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is kind, reliable and cares passionately about the children she looks after. She ensures that the children undertake educational and stimulating activities and ensures they have plenty of outdoor play both at her own home and out and about. Sue is flexible and I honestly don't think I would have been able to, and more importantly been happy to, return to work had I not had the reassurance that my daughter being with Sue was the next best thing to being with me. Thank you Sue.

Outstanding Childminder

5 stars

Sue is an outstanding childminder - we feel so lucky that she looked after both our children from the age of 6 months till when they went to high school. Sue's house was a home from home for our kids and they loved going! When they were younger, Sue would take them to playgroup sessions and always had a wide range of activities and toys to help their development and support learning. I still have all of the personalised Christmas cards they made with Sue! Even as they grew older and were only going before and after school, there were always age appropriate activities organised for them.
There is a family environment feeling at Sue's - all age ranges mix well together and enjoy each others company.
Sue is extremely reliable and professional. She treats each of the children in her care as individuals and knows them inside out - which I found very helpful on the large number of times I asked her for advice!
I would not have trusted my children's wellbeing with anyone else and cannot recommend Sue highly enough.

Sue Brown - fantastic childminder

5 stars

We cannot recommend Sue enough. She's been looking after our son since he was a toddler. Thanks to her great approach to children, Ollie settled immediately in her setting and quite honestly she very quickly became the person that we trust the most to care for our son.
Sue also helped us immensely to understand school curriculum over the years and track Ollie's development. Our son is now in Year 1 and Sue very often offers to implement school recommendations for Ollie (i.e. writing - letter formations, reading, counting, etc.). Ollie absolutely loves spending time with Sue and I feel very lucky that I have found her all those years ago when I was looking for a trusted childminder to care for our son.

I would definitely recommend Sue to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, trusted childcare for their precious little ones.

Sue Brown- amazing childminder

5 stars

Sue is a fantastic childminder. Our son Frankie has been cared for by Sue for nearly 3 years, since the age of 12 months, and we could not be more happy about the development and happiness shown by our little boy.
Sue is an amazing person. It is great how she makes each day so much hun and exiting for Frankie. He has so much fun with all the activities that him and the other children there do, that it can be a struggle to get him out of the door in the afternoon.
Sue was the only one I felt happy and confident leaving the most precious thing in my life with. She was like his second mum- very warm, caring, interactive and reassuring but also contributed greatly to his knowledge and skills development. Each day is so different and your child will be stimulated.
It is also worth mentioning that she is very flexible and never let us down. Frankie always enjoyed going to Sue and truly loves her.
We would recommend Sue to anyone seeking excellent childcare for their child.
