My Summary
About Me
REOPENING JANUARY 2026!
My registration will be complete by January, possibly sooner so please do message for enquiries.
Shell’s House Childcare, Boreham, opens at 7am and closes by 6pm, offering flexible hours throughout the year.
Children are encouraged to play, develop, discover and have fun.
I am a qualified childcare professional who is constantly striving to improve while offering the best possible service.
I am competitively priced to ensure I support all families in Boreham and surrounding areas.
Just a short walk from Boreham school, we are ideally placed for before and after-school care, as well as being a 2 minute walk from the Recreation ground, providing children with opportunities to use the equipment and play area everyday.
I currently have vacancies for full day care for under 5’s as well as afterschool and school closures/holidays.
My Experience
I had my first OFSTED inspection in May 2018 where I was awarded a “GOOD” grading!! I am so proud of this as I work so hard to maintain a high quality provision, and believe I care for children the way I would want my own cared for.
I have had experience in many areas, including day care settings, full day nurseries, out of school clubs, wraparound care, schools, preschool and nannying, 1:1 LSA in primary school, managing a preschool (where we gained a "GOOD" Ofsted grade in April 2016), new born experience, and experience with additional needs including speech and language, ADHD and attachment.
I am an experienced childcare practitioner having qualified to cache NVQ level 3 Childcare and Education in 2002. I have many qualifications including being a CAVA qualified Assessor of childcare.
I have 4 children of my own.
I am currently studying for a BA honours degree in childhood and youth studies.
I can currently offer care between 7am and 6pm for Early years children (under 5) and 7am-9am and 3pm-6pm for school aged children, serving school run’s at Boreham primary and possibly others nearby if needed.
I can also offer school closure cover and school holiday care 7am-6pm.
I am only usually closed over the Xmas period and pride myself on being flexible to meet the needs of the families I work for.
I have current first aid, DBS and safeguarding training as well as many other qualifications - please feel free to ask to see my certificates.
I enjoy updating my knowledge and keeping up with regular changes within the sector.
