My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Home to Home Childcare
As an Ofsted registered childminder and a mother of two, I offer a warm, home-based setting where your child will feel safe, loved, and happy. My focus is on creating a nurturing environment that feels like a true "home away from home," where children are free to learn and play.
At my house, learning isn't just confined to specific activities—it's integrated into our entire day. We use a play-based approach, but we also turn everyday routines into valuable learning opportunities. Whether it's developing language skills during conversation, role playing or singing or building independence while getting ready to go outside helping to put shoes and coat on, I ensure every experience contributes to your child's development. I keep my group size small to give each child the individual attention they deserve.
Operating Hours: Monday-Thursday, 8 AM - 3:30/4:00 PM (term time) hours can be flexible
Group Size: Small and homely, with a maximum of 3 children and only one child under the age of 12 months.
Services: Play-based learning, messy play, we have the flexibility to go out and about to parks and green areas to get some fresh air and playgroups.
My house: I have an open plan longer and kitchen and a enclosed garden. Babies are provided with a travel cot to sleep upstairs. I have two children now in years 7 and 8 studying in Salisbury and a 2 year old very friendly cocker spaniel. Our dog grew up with children.
