About Me

My name is Alison, I am a registered childminder living on a farm just outside Ware. My husband works on the farm and we have 2 grown up daughters that live and work away from home. We have a pet border collie dog who has grown up being around the minded children.

My Experience

I have been childminding since 1993 and have looked after several families during my time as a childminder. I have had families with me for up to 11 years, only leaving when the youngest child moved on to secondary school. One of my current families has been with me for nearly 8 years.

My Qualifications

I have an NVQ level 3 in childcare and hold a current certificate in paediatric first aid and level 2 food hygiene. I am always looking for courses available to me to continue my professional development and further my knowledge in the field of childcare.

My Availability

At the present time, I will have 0 full/part time vacancy for an under 5.
I currently pick up from Duncombe School, Hertford.

A confident childminder creates an environment where children feel secure and make good progress across various developmental areas. The setting offers enjoyable activities and thoughtful routines, supporting children's preparation for nursery or school. Language and communication skills are particularly well-developed, with young children confidently participating in discussions. Parents appreciate the professionalism and genuine care provided. To further enhance the quality of care, more opportunities for children to solve problems independently could be offered.

My daughter has been going to Alison for a month now, we have seen such a change in her. Alison is amazing with her, I knew the second we met that she was the right one for My child and I was so right. I have never seen her so happy to be left with someone then she is when I drop her off.
