About Me

I am a single parent, with one grown up son. I live a house with a small garden close to local schools and nurseries. I have two cats and a hamster. This is a non-smoking household.
I provided a home from home environment, so that children can play as they would at home, with additional learning experiences.
I work with small numbers of children, so I can be flexible to meet family's needs.
I follow the same requirements as nurseries.
I provide varied social interactions, meeting with other childminders regularly to go to parks, playgrounds, woods, and playgroups. We go out most days all year round.
I also provide additional experiences such as visits to farms and going pumpkin picking.
I accept various payment methods, including funded hours, tax free childcare and universal credit payments.
The children are treated as part of the family, with activities planned around their interests.

Good

14 May 2021

Children thrive in a welcoming and safe environment, forming close attachments with their caregiver. High expectations and support for independence foster eagerness to learn. Effective partnerships with parents and strong safeguarding measures are in place. Children make good progress and are well-prepared for future learning. An area for improvement is the use of more gender-neutral language when presenting resources to children.
