About Me

Hello, my name is Liz and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I live with my family in Horfield, Bristol.

I provide a welcoming, safe and caring home-from-home environment where play is at the centre of learning for your child. I work within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines.

We have regular outings to Bristol Zoo Project, Aerospace Museum, play groups, city farms, the library and participate in forest school sessions.

At home the children have lots of opportunities for messy and sensory play, age appropriate activities as well as free play and quiet activities e.g. reading stories.

The setting has a wide range of toys for all ages and a good sized enclosed garden for outdoor and messy play.

I provide healthy snacks and lunches for the children.

The most important thing to me is that the children are happy and settled and enjoy their time in the setting.

My Experience

I have been childminding since January 2015 and received Outstanding in my recent Ofsted inspection.
