About Me

My name is Liz (although the children call me Lizzie), and I live in Four Marks, Hampshire, with my husband, Andrew. Our two children are now grown up, but family life is still at the heart of everything we do. We love spending time outdoors, whether that's in our garden, at our allotment, enjoying local days out or keeping active together. I also enjoy practising yoga, which helps me bring a calm, balanced approach to both home life and my childminding setting.

My Experience

Working with children has been my passion for over 30 years. I am a qualified primary school teacher and spent 15 years teaching in Early Years and Key Stage 1 before becoming a childminder. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how young children learn and develop, while reinforcing my belief that the best learning happens through play, exploration and nurturing relationships.

I have been an Ofsted-registered childminder for over 14 years, including three years in Surrey and the past eleven years in Hampshire. I regularly update my knowledge through ongoing professional development and hold current Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding qualifications, alongside a range of early years training. I am committed to providing a safe, caring and inspiring environment where every child feels valued, secure and able to flourish.

B.Ed (Hons) Primary Education
Cache Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce - Early Learning and Childcare Pathway
Level 3 Award in Preparing to work in Home Based Childcare

Plus many other continuous professional development courses
...and of course I am a mum too :)

Good
27 March 2023
A recent inspection report highlights the strengths and areas for improvement of a local childcare provider. Children benefit from a nurturing environment where they make good progress in learning, particularly in early writing skills. Strong partnerships with parents and a focus on health and well-being are notable positives. The childcare provision received a "Good" rating across all areas, though more consistent support for younger children's language development was suggested as an area for improvement.
