About Me

Hi! I’m a fun-loving, energetic and nurturing childminder with 19 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings. I’m 36 years old and a proud mum of two wonderful teenagers—my 19-year-old son works in IT, and my 16-year-old daughter is studying Outdoor Adventure at Shuttleworth College (clearly, the love for the outdoors runs in the family!).

I’m passionate about getting kids out and exploring the world around them. From woodland walks and park play to den building and nature adventures, I believe in learning through play and fresh air. Every day is a new adventure!

If you’re looking for a warm, experienced, and outdoorsy childminder who treats children like family—look no further!

Good

25 February 2025

A caring and nurturing environment receives a "Good" rating across all areas. The ambitious curriculum focuses on developing confidence, independence, and communication skills. Local outings prioritize community engagement. Parents highly value the excellent communication about their children's learning. To further improve, a more targeted programme of professional development should be established.
