About Me

I have been an Ofsted registered childminder since April 2010. I have lived in Lincolnshire for 15 years after moving up from London. I moved to the beautiful village of Ingham where I then met my husband of 10 years, Rick. We have 2 beautiful young ladies who are at secondary school & college & we couldn't be more prouder of them. After being made redundant from my profession as a retail manager of 18 years, working from home & being able to spend time with my children was a dream come true. I am also a fully qualified advanced swimming teacher & love sharing my young heart & energy with little people.

My Experience

Over the 15+ years that I have been childminding the majority of my customers have been through word of mouth which I am very proud of.
Both of my Ofsted inspections have been extremely positive & enjoyable experiences.
I have had the pleasure of looking after a vast amount of children & I currently have 15 children on my register.
All the children that come into our home are very much part of our family. They are treated as if one of our own.
I am always looking at ways to improve myself & my business & regularly do training or attend events to better my knowledge & understanding.
I have also completed my level 3 in childcare & I am able to offer funding for 2 & 3 year olds.
Our door is always open to the families that we look after as any comments or feedback that we receive we take on board to see how we can improve our setting.
My husband and eldest daughter are registered as my assistants & they love interacting with the children when needed. They are very much seen as additional family members to the children.
