About Me

Hi I run little vales childminding at westvale park in Horley. Close to Gatwick airport and east surrey hospital. I am married and We have 2 children a daughter 22 years old and a 16 year old son. I enjoy arts and crafts and being out in the fresh air visiting parks and national trust properties. In my spare time I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.

My Experience

I have 25 years of childcare experience. I gained my diploma in childcare in 2000 and from there worked in a private day nursery where I quickly became the baby unit leader caring for 18 under 2 year olds and leading a team of 6 practitioners. I then became a childminder to care for my own family alongside, I cared for various children of ages ranging from 2 months up to the age of 8 years. I then became a nanny for 6 years for two families with children aged 1 year to 12 years. I was then made redundant due to Covid-19 and returned to a private day nursery where I was once again a baby room leader with up to 22 babies under 18 months old. I have now re registered as a childminder in my new home at westvale park and I am very excited to continue the extremely rewarding career of being a childminder.

Good
13 June 2025
With a broad curriculum and high expectations for behaviour, children thrive in this childminding setting. Strong attachments are formed, creating a positive atmosphere where all children, including those speaking English as an additional language, make good progress. Personal hygiene and healthy eating are promoted well. However, teaching could be better adapted to individual needs, and information sharing with other settings needs improvement to support transitions.
