My Summary
About Me
My name is Cheryl Kyte and I'm 45 years old. I'm an Ofsted registered childminder, and being a mum of 3, I've plenty of experience with children!
I live in West Totton with my husband and 3 kids - my eldest daughter goes to Barton Peveril College, my son goes to Hounsdown, and my youngest daughter attends Foxhills Juniors. I'm more than happy to take children or pick them up from the Foxhills schools (infants or juniors) or Ashurst pre-school.
I live in a large 4 bedroom house, primarily using the downstairs for childminding. Downstairs, I have a reception room with dressing up clothes, book corner, play kitchen and Ninetendo Switch. I then have a lounge containing games for older children. In my kitchen diner i have a cupboards and shelves full of toys for all ages and loads of room for messy play. With underfloor heating and an atrium, this room is a lovely light, warm room perfect for all year round. This room has large doors opening up into the garden which contains a trampoline, and numerous childrens toys.
We have a beautiful British Short Hair house cat called Cosmo. He's very chilled and spends most of the day sleeping. And a fish. Who doesn't do much...lol.
The aim for my childcare service is to provide an environment for your children where they feel completely at home whilst feeling cared for, respected and happy.
My Experience
Being a mum of 3, I've plenty of experience in dealing with children. Being a mum covers:

discipline and grievance
leadership skills
infuencing....and the list could go on.... ; )
My Qualifications
Fully insured
Cache Level 3 Diploma in Home Based Childcare
Paediatric First Aid
I'm not sure my Degree in Business Management helps much, but my A level in Psychology occasionally comes in handy!
My Availability
My current working hours are 7.30am to 5pm, so I'd be looking for someone between these hours.
I have vacancies for before school for school aged children. I would consider taking on more after school children if they were collected by 4pm.

I have used cheryl since she began and can say she is very professional, very caring and an excellent choice if you want your children looked after to a high standard.She is able to offer very good hours which are perfect as a shift worker as it's rare to find childcare before 7.30 am. Even at 06.45 in the morning my children happily (all beit sleepily) run off in to Cherlys and r welcomed by a bright, happy smile. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel confident that their children will be nurtured, have fun and be safely looked after.
