My Summary
About Me
My name is Pam Cooke and I'm a OFSTED registered childminder. I live in Erdington.
Your child would be welcomed into a friendly, safe and clean environment. I pick up from the local school and nursery. I take children to different playgroups within the local area. Within the 30 years of childminding I have looked after many children in my road, I have built up my business on a good reputation of childminding over the years.
My Experience
I have 30 Years Experience working with all different age groups from 3months to 12 years. I have 20+ excellent references available to see in my portfolio. I also create learning journals on each child, to see their development.
My last OFSTED inspection May 2024, the outcome was GOOD.

Pam provides a home away from home in a very loving environment.
Our daughter sees her as another set of grandparents which is lovely.
We always know what our daughter has done every day, food, nappys, playing.
Pam teaches the children manners and also helps potty train with a lot of 1 on 1 attention.
Pam looks after the children like they are her own.
We couldn't have asked for a better start to our daughters life.

My son and daughter both were looked after by Pam and I have no complaints at all. Pam cared for them like they were her own and communicates effectively with parents. She potty trained my children, taught them songs, numbers and colours. They engaged in a variety of activities and attended a baby group on Fridays, amongst walks to the park. The children also talk highly of her daughter and husband. Pam was also flexible with our needs in regards to timings and days. Pam comes highlybrecommended.

Our son has been with Pam since he l started in reception at school and will soon be turning 7. He loves going every day, Pam drops off and picks him up everyday. He has everything he needs and more whilst he is in Pams care. The anxiety of leaving your child is overwhelming, but Pam is literally the best. She gives you daily updates, always a phone call away if you need her for anything and is available in the school holidays to have children. We cannot recommend Pam enough!
