About Me

I am experienced child-minder living in a house with my husband and two children situated very close to Richmond Park. At my last four OFSTED inspections, I have been graded as Outstanding. As a child-minder, I am committed to providing a loving, caring, stimulating home from home environment in which I deliver the Early Years Foundation Stages through a wide range of activities. Activities that myself and the children enjoy involve forest school, arts and crafts, music, cooking and gardening at my allotment. We also visit the local parks, playgrounds, the local children's centre, and mix with a group of other child-minders and their children. The children receive home cooked nutritious meals and the younger ones have the opportunity to nap if required, in the quiet of their own room upstairs. I am able to drop off and collect children from Alexandra Infants School, St Paul's Junior School and Park Hill School.

My Experience

Having worked in childcare all my working life from the age of sixteen, I have many years of experience. I also regularly attend training courses to further my knowledge and keep me updated. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, including special needs and children with English as a second language.

- NNEB qualified (National Nursery Examining Board)
