About Me

Based on Rumney and do pick ups from Rumney and bro eirwg.

I run an English speaking setting, however, I am learning Welsh and do try and add Welsh into activities. Activities such as circle time, stories and songs/rhymes are carried out in Welsh daily. The children are taught colours and counting in both English and Welsh.
My aim as a childminder is to provide children with the warm, friendly and stimulating environment that I would want for my own children.
I am committed to the development of every child in my care; I aim to be a positive role model and to encourage them to be happy, secure and confident little people.

I am happy to look after children of any age or gender. I will have spaces for 6 children from 5 upwards and one space for under 3’s. I preferably would not want to look after more than 6 children (including my own) at the same time.

My service will be open from 07:00 until 18:00 on Monday through to Friday. I will also be closed over Christmas holidays which won’t have any charges.

Every parent or carer is given a copy of their contracted hours and fees, this is signed by the parent. This contract will be updated every time a child’s days or fees are changed. I will charge £6 per hour which is in line with other childminders in the area.
Holiday
With holiday arrangements when I am on holiday/off sick there will be no charge. If children are away or off sick there will still be a normal charge.
Sickness
With sickness if children are ill with a cold and flu like sickness they are allowed to come in, but if there has been throwing up or diarrhoea they cannot come in until they have no symptoms for 48 hours.
