My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m a warm, friendly and experienced childminder based in Failsworth. I’ve created a calm and welcoming home environment where children feel safe, supported and happy. My aim is to help every child grow in confidence, learn through play and enjoy each day to the fullest.
I offer drop-offs and pick-ups at St Mary’s School, and welcome children of all ages. I provide funded and tax-free childcare, and always take a flexible approach. We enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, including toddler groups, singing sessions, soft play, local parks, museums and the occasional zoo trip. Every child is treated as an individual, and I take pride in meeting their unique needs and interests.
My Experience
I’ve worked as a registered childminder for over 24 years, caring for children from birth right through to secondary school age. Over the years, I’ve supported a wide range of families, including children with additional needs, different learning styles and varied routines.
I hold a Level 3 qualification in childcare, and keep all my training up to date, including paediatric first aid and safeguarding. I’m DBS checked and act as the Designated Safeguarding Lead for my setting.
My vast experience has taught me how to adapt to every child and situation, whether that’s settling in a nervous toddler, supporting early speech and language development, or providing a calm, structured routine for school-aged children. I plan each day to help children develop socially, emotionally and physically, while having fun in a caring and consistent environment.
