Childminder in Newbury (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
'Outstanding in all areas' - Ofsted inspection March 2018. Further inspection in 2024 passed (no rating as no children on roll)
Only ad-hoc and weekend childcare available, plus evening and emergency babysitting.
Living in Central Newbury, I am a 51 year old mum of two school children, who believes in learning through play and particularly the outdoor environment. I am full of enthusiasm, and very experienced and capable.
I offer flexible childcare solutions, including one-off and occasional overnight care (I am registered with Ofsted for overnight care in my own home too).
I am degree educated, with a long career in communication, mostly public sector. I worked as a full-time childminder for over five years on a career break before returning to my substantive career full-time. I am now offering ad-hoc and weekend care and babysitting. I had a recent inspection in 2024.
I am a member of childcare.co.uk, who provide my public liability insurance.
We have a little hamster which the children like to watch, and a very friendly Golden Retriever dog.
I have excellent references, past and present. I can put you in touch with people who have used my childcare, or provide written references.
I volunteer with Beavers (age 6-8yrs) and hold 3 different DBS checks, fully first aid trained and public liability insurance.
