About Me

I am 48, married with 2 teenage boys living in Upton, Poole, since 2008.
At "Gail's Chilminding" we love to have fun, make friends, get messy & enjoy the great outdoors, whilst learning through play.
We decide together what we would like to do each day, whether it be to go to a park, visit a castle, bake some biscuits or get the playdoh out. We have a lovely grassed garden with lots of toys to play with and we are surrounded some lovely places of interest to visit locally.

My Experience

I have been childminding since May 2018, then worked in a local family run nursery for two years whilst working on my level 3 Childcare qualification which is now complete therefore i am returning to childminding in 2026. I also volunteer as a Beaver leader at 1st Lytchett Minster Scouts.
