About Me

I am a childminder in Botley area, I have worked in childcare for over 15 years, I work with range of children from being on the spectrum to medical needs. I provide outings and care catered to each child’s needs to the best of my ability. I try to provide a home from home setting that children become part of the family and value each child and work together with parents/guardians to encourage your child to grow and inspire. My setting is mainly outdoor based from October 24 and aims to be able to explore the world around us in most weathers. Please check out discoversophcies childminding for more details about me and what I provide. I am currently full till September 2026. So please message if you need care from there. Many thanks
