About Me

I’m a 43 year mum of 3, my eldest being 24 and my youngest is 7 years old, so I’ve had a wealth of experience just looking after my own children, as well as years of experience in childminding and a School Meals Supervisory Assistant (SMSA). My dream of running my own childminders is finally now a reality and i’m excited to put all my hard work and experience of learning and looking after children to provide an excellent, reliable and honest childminding service to my local community and surrounding areas. I have been through an enhanced DBS check and have been Ofsted graded as a “GOOD” provider.

A warm and friendly environment awaits children at this childminding setting. The provision offers a broad curriculum covering all early years foundation stage areas, with a strong focus on physical development and communication skills. Children enjoy meaningful learning experiences, including messy play and outdoor activities. They develop confidence in expressing themselves and learn new vocabulary through play. Areas for improvement include refining curriculum delivery for younger children and strengthening information-sharing with other settings.
