About Me

I live in Whiston with my husband Robert and two adult children We have a very family centred approach to Childminding with everyone becoming part of our own family! We have three small dogs, a very large garden and the opportunity to work in our very own allotment garden on site. Activities are centred around the needs of each child and a great emphasis placed on being outdoors as much as possible. I have undertaken Hygge in the Early Years accreditation and this ethos is fully embedded within the setting.

My Experience

Registered with Ofsted in September 2003. I have now over 21 years of experience working with newborns to teenagers, working closely with families and not just the child.
