My Summary
Childminder In Shaw, West Swindon
About Me
Hi, my name is Yvonne,
I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Shaw, West Swindon, where I live with my husband David, my daughter Emilee (13) and our son Oliver (3).
I have recently reopened my childminding setting and am excited to welcome new families into a warm, safe and nurturing home environment.
I provide a caring, home-from-home setting where children can learn, play and develop at their own pace. I am passionate about supporting children’s confidence, independence and wellbeing through a range of fun, engaging activities both at home and on outings.
I offer:
A safe, friendly and welcoming environment
Age-appropriate activities and learning through play
Regular outdoor play and local outings
A strong focus on safeguarding and child wellbeing
I understand how important it is to find the right childcare, and I aim to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
If you would like to know more or arrange a visit, please feel free to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
My Experience
I have a wide range of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborn babies through to teenagers.
I have previously worked in a nursery setting, where I gained valuable experience supporting children’s early development, learning through play, and working as part of a team to meet individual needs.
I was a registered childminder with an agency for over a year, where I cared for children in a home-based environment, following EYFS guidance and building strong relationships with both children and their families. I am now Ofsted registered.
In addition to my professional experience, I am a mum myself, which has given me a deep understanding of children’s needs, routines and development at every stage.
I am confident, caring and passionate about providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.
My Qualifications
I am Ofsted registered, DBS checked, EYFS trained and have my paediatric first aid certificate.

I’m really happy with the care and support we’ve received from Yvonne. She is warm, patient and genuinely caring, and has created such a lovely environment for the children.
One of the things I really appreciate is how much variety there is in the children’s days. They regularly go out, visit different places and take part in activities, as well as having opportunities to play and socialise with other children. I love that they get to experience new things rather than simply staying indoors.
Communication has always been easy and I feel comfortable talking to Yvonne about anything. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my child is happy, cared for and enjoying their time there.
I would happily recommend Yvonne to other parents looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

Yvonne has been so good to my baby. She’s been looking after her since 8 months old. We’ve never had any bad experiences at all. Baby loves to go to her and sometimes does not want to come back home! 😁
Baby also has allergies which she takes really good care not to contaminate and have looked after baby so well. We are so glad we’ve met Yvonne and would definitely recommend her.
She also takes take out for fun and gives you ample notice on what’s going on for the week so you can prepare your child at home. She is so gentle and caring. We love how our baby is being cared for and how baby has grown confidence and lots and lots of skills. 🫶
