About Me
AVAILABILITY - 2/3 Days Mondays to Wednesdays for 12-30 month old
I offer care, fun and learning in a friendly home setting with spacious premises and lovely garden on the quiet and leafy Cator Estate. I have been a fully qualified, registered childminder for 14 years and have a 'Good' grade from OFSTED. There is lots of space for children to run around and play with a large sitting room, as well as a separate playroom and a good-sized garden. Each child has the benefit of their own bedroom for sleep time. I have a large toy and book collection for babies and pre-schoolers. The children enjoy a wide range of activities including painting, arts and crafts, music, singing and dancing, sand and water play, nature play, story time and games. We enjoy regular trips out to visit local parks, playgroups, toy libraries and playgrounds as part of creating a happy and stimulating environment for young children.
I send parents photos daily and a weekly memory video so they can see what we have been up to during the week!

Dee looked after my son from 2011 to 2013 and, when my daughter needed childcare from 2017 to 2019, we were lucky enough that Dee was once again available. My daughter is now moving on to nursery and I would recommend Dee in the strongest possible terms to other families. She is a wonderful childminder and we feel very fortunate to have found her.
Dee's home is ideally suited to caring for young children with lots of space and things to do. The garden is beautiful. Dee gets the children out and about and my daughter likes to tell me about the activities she does with Dee and other children at various playgroups. Dee is extremely well organised and is kind and accommodating when our organisation has been less than good! She is good at communicating what goes on during the day through notes and photos. Mealtimes are calm and the food is varied.
My family feel such a debt of gratitude to Dee; my partner and I go out to work and do not have to worry about our daughter, she gives us complete peace of mind. We will miss her very much and whole-heartedly recommend her to other families looking for childcare.
Dee looked after our little boy from 8 months old to two and a half. We are now moving on to a nursery in preparation for school!
The initial settling in period was very smooth, and Dee was extremely reassuring throughout this time which really helped to put us all at ease.
The environment is perfect for little ones with large play areas full of toys and books. A wonderful garden too!
We were always impressed with the variety of activities which were prepared each morning so our son was instantly engaged.
There were regular trips to the local parks and playgroups and we have some lovely photos of these occasions.
Dee always gave us a daily report of activities and was totally accommodating and flexible to all our child's dietary preferences and requirements.
We were always very impressed by the level of care and cleanliness towards our son. He never had nappy rash as was always regularly changed. His hands and face were always clean!
Our little man felt very happy throughout his time with Dee and often he just wanted to stay and play when it was time to go home.
Our highest recommendation!
Dee has provided childcare for my son for the past two years, and he is now moving onto nursery.
Dee's provision of care, has been nothing but outstanding. Each morning Dee is prepared for the day, and has the toys or activities ready so my son is immediately engaged upon arrival. The activities are always different, and Dee is fantastic in ensuring we are aware and kept up to date on the day’s activities. Each book that is read to Tom, and each toy he plays with is included on the day summary form I receive. As a parent it is fantastic to read through the list of books and activities that Dee does with my son.
My son is always taken out, ranging from the local park, museums, play centres. Dee is intuitive and tailors the toys/books, in terms of knowing what my son in particular likes.
Each meal is listed on the daily summary form I receive. With confidence I can say that my son's diet is varied. Dee will also tailor his diet when for example my son has been teething or upset stomachs.
Dee is very conscious of safety, and has the necessary locks and safety gates in place.
Dee manages to give each child in her care one to one time, and as a result Tom has been exceptionally happy and confident as a result.
My husband and I are able to go to work every day, with every peace of mind, and confidence in Dee’s abilities.
Dee has ensured that my son is a happy little boy, and demonstrates great affection for him, which in turn has ensured that the services she provides to my son and to us as parents is exemplary.
We as a family will truly miss Dee, and unreservedly recommend her to anyone!
I highly recommend Dee who took excellent care of our son from when he was 10 months old to almost 3 years old. She provided a warm, caring and welcoming environment in which our son thrived. Dee constantly engaged our boy in play and conversation, helping him learn and develop new skills. The attention she gave our son was outstanding. Her set up is wonderful: a fantastic book and toy collection, lovely playroom, a great garden in a green and quiet neighbourhood. She provided healthy food. There were daily outings ranging from walks in the park, soft play areas to singing in the toy library. She kept us informed in detail about the day with daily sheets and we had a constant dialogue about our son, what he was up to and how he was doing. She helped us navigate through all the phases (e.g sleep, potty training) and had great advice. We had complete peace of mind that our son was in safe hands, having fun and being loved. He loved his days with Dee and grew very fond of her and her boys. Having Dee take care of our son was all we could wish for. We all miss her very much.
Dee was the most amazing childminder to our little girl Matilda for nearly two years. We only left as we had our second child. In that time Dee provided a warm, safe and caring environment. Dee took Matilda out every day gave her lots of exercise, great food and play. Dee gave great feedback on what they had done during the day and devloped a real bond with Matilda, I trusted Dee completley and I was a very anxious parent leaving her for the first time at 10 months especially as she had not been left before. Dee looked after her so well that Matilda didnt want to leave when it was the end of the day !. Matilda still talks of Dee and her boys often they made such a positive impression on Matilda. The next family to send there children to Dee will be very lucky indeed. I would recomend Dee without hesitation to any parent.
