About Me

Hi there! I'm Wanda, I have a Good Ofsted inspection. At present I do NOT have any spaces available at all for any ages. I live on Longbridge Lane with my husband. I have 4 grown up children have their own children and live locally. Throughout all their upbringing I have been childminding and fostering continuously for 40 years ,making a big happy family especially for the children in our care who needed stability and normality. Our house is always full of toys, glue and painting and child orientated, we also go out and about daily, whether this be to the school run (Albert Bradbeer primary school) play group, or trips to the park, woods, on day trips,we have lots of fun and I feel that the children in my care get a huge variety of activities in and outdoors. We meet up with other childminders, two of which are my daughters, who have grown up in this environment, so the children I care for have a lovely and very sociable time with me. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience of childcare, as I have been a childminder for many years because I love this job. I go on a lot of training courses to keep myself updated with all of the latest information and changes. I include lots of fun learning and experimenting and experiencing.
I offer a home environment so that the children feel welcome and relaxed with me.

The downstairs of my home is designated for the children including my large garden that boasts lots of sit and rides, play houses (including princess castle) climbing frames and many more outdoor toys.
If you feel that I could be the childminder for you and your child. Please get in touch.

Good
26 August 2025
Children enjoy a secure, home-like atmosphere with plenty of outdoor exploration in this 'Good'-rated provision. The childminder creates warm relationships and uses outdoor activities to support learning. Clear behaviour expectations and effective safeguarding measures are in place. However, curriculum sequencing needs refinement to fully challenge children, and more opportunities for independent decision-making could be provided.
