My Summary
About Me
Hi and welcome to my web profile for my childminding service.
I'm married with two children and live in Morpeth, Northumberland.
I enjoy spending time with my family and socialising with friends.
Excellent facilities and space for the children to play and learn.
Through a network of local child play facilities and childminding friends, I enjoy taking the children out on trips and visits.
The area in which I live is extremely child friendly and all the children in my care have the benefit of a safe and inviting area to play and learn in.
Registered to provide the 15 hours & 30 hours government backed free entitlement, for 2,3 & 4 year olds.
Please give me a call or drop me an email to discuss your requirements and to see how I could assist you in your childcare needs.
