About Me

I have looked after children all my adult life and I love what I do! I am a nursery nurse and a registered childminder. I have 30 years experience in childcare as well as being a mum myself.
I provide home based childcare in a safe, secure, clean and most importantly fun environment. Children learn through play and I provide plenty of that! I have lots of resources in my home but also like to take the children to parks, playgroups, the library etc to extend their social skills and experiences.
I am a 47 year old mum of 4. My children are 22, 20, 18 and 16. Although I have a large family of my own they are all at work or college full time. My Mum (retired nursery nurse) and daughter are also registered as my assistants. They don’t work with me full time but are regularly around and the children get to know them well which has been helpful in the past to cover for me if I was to be unexpectedly ill or have a family emergency.
I work term time only and therefore don’t charge during school holidays. I accept 15 and 30 hrs funding too.

My Experience

Over the last 30 years I have worked in a nursery, as an au pair in New York, a nanny for twins from 2 weeks old and now as a registered childminder for the past 23 years as well as having 4 children of my own who are 22, 20, 18 and 16. I can provide excellent references from all of the families I have worked for.

My Qualifications

I have an NNEB qualifying me as a nursery nurse.
I am OFSTED registered as a childminder. I got a GOOD in my last inspection.
I am trained in First Aid.
I am CRB checked as is my husband and all 4 children .
I hold a clean driving liscence.

Amy is the best!

5 stars

My 18 month old daughter has been gaing to Amy's for the past year. I am extremely happy with her service. Amy is a very experienced and caring childminder and her fantastic education and behaviour management skills is clearly evident in her own 4 children who are all LOVELY and treat my daughter as their little sister. I recommend Amy very highly. My daughter loves her dearly!
