My Summary

Home From Home Childcare That’s Always Out And About

My Experience

I am a warm, caring, and experienced childminder with over 20 years of experience working with children of all ages. I now specialise in caring for babies and young children from 1 month to school years, by providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where little ones can feel secure, valued, and confident to explore.
I hold a Childcare NVQ and am fully trained in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding Children Level 3, Food Safety Level 2, and Speech & Language Therapy Practice (SLTP). I am also a member of the Forest Childcare Association and enjoy offering children regular opportunities for outdoor play and learning in all weathers.
I have experience supporting children with additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and I hold Level 1 and Level 2 Makaton training to help promote inclusive communication and support children’s individual needs.
Before becoming a childminder, I worked at Chudleigh’s local pre-school and Rising 5s, completed training and worked at Daisy Chain Nursery, and both worked and volunteered at the local primary school. This has given me a good understanding of early years development and how to support children as they grow and prepare for their next steps.
I am passionate about continuing professional development and regularly attend training courses to ensure my practice remains up to date and of a high standard. I work closely with parents, valuing open communication and partnership, to ensure each child receives consistent, loving care tailored to their individual needs and routines.
My aim is to provide a home-from-home environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to develop at their own pace.

My Qualifications

I am fully qualified and trained to provide safe, loving, and attentive care, especially for babies and very young children. I hold Paediatric First Aid, an NVQ in Childcare, and an Introduction to Childcare Practice qualification, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in capable and knowledgeable hands.
I am trained in Safeguarding Children Level 3 and Food Safety, ensuring children’s wellbeing, health, and safety are always my highest priority. I also hold a Speech and Language Therapy diploma, which supports early communication and language development from a very young age.
I have completed AXs01 Introduction to Integrated Working and hold Makaton Level 1 and Level 2 training, allowing me to support children with different communication needs in an inclusive and understanding way.
I regularly attend training courses to keep my knowledge fully up to date with current legislation, guidance, and best practice, so parents can feel confident their baby is being cared for in a safe, nurturing, and well-informed environment.
