About Me

Hello parents and potential mindies I am an ofsted registered childminder located in the Bramley area of Rotherham. I live with my Husband and four children.

My planning for children is based around the early years foundation stage (EYFS) where I provide a wide range of age and stage appropriate activities, outings and tasks. I aim to encourage each child to achieve their full potential and enjoy seeing them do so.

The safe and homely setting i provide is open to children aged between 0 to 11 years of age and is surrounded by parks, local shops, and woodland areas to explore. I have a garden area that is enclosed to ensure safety at all times so that children can access them freely.

The school where i provide pick up and drop of service is;

Wickersley Northfield Primary school

I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly, she is absolutely fantastic. Arthur started with Lindsay back in May - after she literally saved us from a very tricky childcare situation & I couldn't be more grateful or glad that everything worked out as it did. Arthur is now settled on a permanent basis with her and we couldn't be happier.

I love that Lindsay encompasses the curiosity approach into every single day with the little ones, they are always learning but having so much fun whilst doing so.

Lindsay always keeps us informed and in the loop, sending updates to us during the day. She has helped and supported us with different challenges we have faced, largely with food!

I feel that Arthur has come on leaps and bounds since being in Lindsay's care and I cannot wait to see where the next few months/years take us!

The best feeling for me is to know my little boy is happy, safe and loving life and I know 100% that this is the case when he is with Lindsay.

I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly.

I don't even know where to start with Lindsay. She is the most amazing person as well as a childminder.

Little Nutmegz was one of the first childminders I looked at when I was 6 months pregnant with my son and Lindsay kept in touch all the way through until he was 5 months old and we did a home visit ready for him to start at 6 months. Reggie is now 17 months old and absolutely loves going to Little Nutmegz! Lindsay provides regular updates, notifies us of any issues however small and provides our son with the best care. The activities, games and outdoor play are always catered to each child's age, and i love the photos I get of my son.

I was really worried about sending my son so young and especially as he wasn't self soothing, but Lindsay really put me at ease and was fantastic with him. She treats him like her own.

Lindsay really is the best, as well as her amazing family who are of course around Reggie too. I couldn't ask for a better childminder or I can't possibly put into words how much Lindsay means to us and our son. We will forever be grateful for the impact she has had on his short life so far.

I really struggled with finding a childminder that we liked and more importantly that our one year old little girl liked. After visiting a few different childminders, I knew immediately that Little Nuttmegz was the place for our little girl!

My shifts change on a weekly basis and my manager is not the best at getting rotas out very far in advance but Lindsay has been very accommodating and helped to alleviate a lot of stress on my part!

As for the actual childcare, I couldn't wish for more. At the end of the week, I get to read our daughter's journal and see all the lovely activities she's been up to and what food she's eaten. I don't know where we'd be without her, I feel like we've known her for years.


All I can say is thank you! Xxx
