About Me

Hello! I am a registered childminder based in North Anston, with over 14 years of experience working alongside my mum, Kate, who herself has been an Ofsted-registered childminder for nearly 30 years and consistently achieved “Good” outcomes. In 2023, I had my most recent Ofsted inspection and, like previous years, was proud to receive a “Good” grading.
As a mum to two wonderful children, aged 16 and 10, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children feel at home. My setting offers bright, clean, and welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces designed to encourage play, learning, and development across all ages.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to plan, observe, and assess each child’s progress, ensuring they thrive in their learning journey. Parents are kept involved through daily diaries and up-to-date learning journals, so you can share in your child’s milestones and achievements.
Children in my care enjoy regular outings to local toddler groups, parks, and attractions, making the most of our community amenities. I am committed to building strong, positive relationships with families and pride myself on delivering the highest standard of care. All legally required training is continually refreshed, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
We are delighted to offer 30 hours funded childcare places from 9 months old, making quality childcare accessible for families.
? Please feel free to get in touch at any time with questions or to arrange a visit. I look forward to welcoming you and your child into my home-from-home setting.

My Experience

I registered in October 2015 but for 2 years previously I work as an assistant with my mum Kate. This will be my 14th year childminding and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
I continually keep up to date with legally required courses and attended courses which I find beneficial to my setting and children in my care.
ICO registered & fully insured.

My Qualifications

I studied Health & Social Care Double Award and English Language at A Level in 6th Form. When I left I worked in the care sector with adults with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. Due to this line of work I have always been DBS checked and have had a huge amount of training in terms of safeguarding and the role of a care provider. I also have diplomas in Psychology, Sociology and English Languages which I achieved distinctions in all areas.

I have completed Paediatric First Aid training, Safeguarding, Food Hygiene, The Early Language Development Programme, FGM & Tiny Talkers.

My Availability

I have spaces available and deliver to Anston Greenlands, South Anston Hillcrest and Anston Brook (dependent on availability)
