My Summary
About Me
I am an accredited childcare provider whose recent OFSTED was rated Strong Standard Across All Areas(April 2026) with 25 years experience in the field and who has previously received an Outstanding.
My husband and I have three children; two who are in their early 30's who work in teaching and training respectively and one in their 20’s who is a PHD student. As a former accountant, I am very meticulous in my practice and I only adhere to the highest standards of care; whether that be with food preparation, the setting up/putting away of play materials or individual care needs. I am a member of the local Childcare Network for Redbridge, along with regularly participating in courses and forums to make sure that all of our community are sharing in our experiences and maintaining the highest standards of care.
I work with assistants who are all first-aid and safeguarding trained and who also attend courses to ensure their practice enriches the children who attend the setting.
Aside from this, I am a fun-loving and caring person, who is passionate about the wellbeing of staff and children alike.
My Experience
During my 25 years in the field of childcare, I have cared for children ranging from newborns up to the age of 11. Our practice has a set routine, meal plan and activity schedule that provides stability for all children within the setting, but can also be adapted to suit those with particular requirements. This routine aims to nurture those in the setting, in order to reach their Early Year goals in a secure and friendly environment. As the premise of my business is home-based childcare, the play space and the garden area are easily accessible for all children, with a member of staff in each area at all times to support their play. I currently have 3 full time assistants. We are also involved in community events such as playgroups, libraries, parks and farms that help our children discover the world around them.
