About Me

Hi, my name is Manda.

I am married with three children. Two who are grown up, and one teenager.

I live in a Cul-de-Sac in Ashton in Makerfield. The location provides a great base to get out and about with the children as there are local parks, The Three Sisters Recreation Area and also a duck pond just a short walking distance away.

I recently moved and now have a great space in a large conservatory set up ready for children to explore. My home is equipped to provide many different activities for children of all ages.

Additionally, I hold a full, clean driving licence.

My Experience

I have worked in childcare for twelve years at a busy private day nursery, prior to registering as an Ofsted approved childminder.

I have vast experience of caring for children between the ages of nought and five from various cultures and backgrounds. I have cared for children who have food allergies and intolerances, one of whom is my own daughter.

I have brought up three wonderful children, two whom attended the nursery at which i worked.

I enjoy working in partnership with parents and follow the EYFS framework regarding the learning development of children, providing regular feedback on their child's development.

My Qualifications

My professional qualifications are;

NVQ - Level 3 - Early Years Care and Education

A nurturing environment that fosters strong bonds and promotes independence is provided by this childminder. Children benefit from a well-planned curriculum and regular outings to local parks and playgroups. Detailed assessments are carried out with parental involvement, and a stimulating setting allows children to lead their own play. While overall effectiveness is rated as good, there is room for improvement in supporting children to manage their emotions and understand their impact on others.
