My Summary
About Me
I am a Childminder of 25+ years experience, happily married , mum of 3 strapping lads, most of who have flown the nest and proud owner of a rescue greyhound. Our setting is child-led with a love of outdoors and nature. Our curriculum celebrates ready-steady- grow which focusses and supports the fundamentals of our learning and development intents. Children who have attended my setting are confident in both communication and PSED, they are recognised as 'school ready' by our local academy. We celebrate the Hygge fundamentals and 1000 hours outside . Good working knowledge of SEND and family support. Throughout each wonderful season we will go on outdoor adventures and learning opportunities including RSPB Old Moor, museums, farms, parks, woods , train/bus/tram journeys. The local environment has so many learning opportunities you will see evidence of this weekly through photos of our adventures and learning.

Janine has been an absolute godsend for our family. She has looked after both of my children - my eldest, now 6, and my youngest who is almost 3, and I couldn’t ask for a more caring, patient, and dedicated childminder.
Her home is warm, fun, and full of activities that keep the children busy, learning, and happy. Every day is different, from creative play and crafts to outdoor adventures, and she always finds ways to bring out the best in each child. Both of mine absolutely adore her, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow in confidence under her care.
As a parent, it’s such a relief to know your children are safe, loved, and genuinely excited to go each day, and that’s exactly how it is with Janine. She’s become such a special part of our children’s early years, and we feel so lucky to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
