About Me

Hi everybody, my name is Kate, I've been an Ofsted registered childminder for 12 years. I live with my husband Josh and our 3 children, Pablo, Ella & Esme. We live in Halesowen, B62.

I provide a warm, clean and caring environment. I like to provide a 'home from home' which the children use as their own and become part of the family. I am passionate about children learning through play and new experiences and I follow the EYFS. I am very child-led and like to follow little ones lead. We spend a lot of time exploring the outdoors and nature and love to get messy with lots of sensory play. We enjoy attending playgroups and taking trips out to the library, farm and pumpkin picking etc

I am continually improving my practice and try to attend lots of training courses, I have completed my level 3 qualification and I am half way through completing my degree in early childhood education.

I am able to offer 2/3 year old funded spaces and currently have spaces available.

I am very flexible with my working hours/days and I'm also available to offer overnight care. I aim to support ALL shift patterns.

I also offer term time only contracts with no charge during half term.

Please don't hesitate to contact me.

My Experience

I have been a child minder for over 12 years so have lots of hands on experience.

My Qualifications

I have many many qualifications, please ask to view them at your meeting.
