About Me

Hello.

My name is Claire and I live in Storrington village.

I am a Ofsted registered childminder and we are named ‘The Giggling Goat’

I already have childcare qualifications from being a Nanny for 20 years. I have completed my 12 hour paediatric first aid and my DBS is now on the update service. I completed a childminder course to refresh my knowledge.


I have a 5yr old little boy who loves playing with other children.

We live in a lovely large house with lots of outside space. There is a playroom especially for the children but also have use of the whole of downstairs.


I have Fishers Farm membership and a Merlin pass so we can enjoy fun and educational trips out to sea life centre and the farm or Chessington Zoo!


We have a very child friendly 5year old lab and 3 cats. All that love my child and any children that visit.

I charge 8.50ph which includes food and snacks.

I have space Monday-Thursday 8.30-5pm from September 2026


My Experience

I have experience with babies and children from new born up to teenagers.
I also have experience with children who have Autism and other additional needs.
Lots of experience with twins, potty training and weaning, swimming and overnight care.
Night Nanny for a new born, getting up with the baby throughout the night for feeds.

PA to teenagers who have additional needs.

Local drop off and pick up to Storrington first school.

A recent inspection has rated this childminder as 'Good' across all areas, highlighting their warm and welcoming approach. Children, including those with special educational needs, make good progress in a home-like environment. The childminder effectively supports communication skills and focuses on professional development. However, there is room for improvement in developing children's independence skills. Stimulating experiences, nutritious meals, and regular physical activities promote healthy lifestyles.
