About Me

** Offering 15 government funded hours per week**
2 Spaces available from September 2025 Monday-Thursday, Minimum 2 days a week, 7.5 hours a day.

Hi, I'm Emily and Mum to Joshua, aged 9. I am an OFSTED registered childminder (rated "Good") offering high quality childcare in the pretty village of Aston, just 5 minutes from Witney. I provide a safe, warm, friendly and welcoming home from home environment in a pretty village location.

Working to the governments EYFS, I provide your child with excellent resources and lots of fun opportunities to learn, develop and play both indoors and outdoors.

I strive to provide high quality childcare in a caring and nurturing environment and will work closely with you to ensure your child gets the best care possible.

All parents are given access to their own Tapestry account, an online learning journal enabling you to track your child's progress in accordance with the EYFS. I am happy to complete a daily diary if required to ensure you have a complete overview of your child's time with me.

If you have a work or social event to attend I am also able to offer one off childcare at weekends and overnight. Please contact me to discuss your needs.

I am happy to provide term time only contracts if required with no fee/retainer in the holidays.

I am Mum to a lovely boy (aged 9) and proud Auntie to 1 lovely newborn baby niece and 4 lovely nephews aged 15 and under. I have cared for children from 9 months old up to 10 years old and have newborn experience with my own son.
