About Me

My name is Wendy I am a childminder in Weston Super Mare. I am married with two lovely grown up children who have flown the nest. Since covid I have work as a co-childminder with a colleague in their home, that also has a lovely large garden and purpose built cabin. We are both registered in our own right with Ofsted. We have a wide range of resources to entertain, encourage and build on your little one's interests and development, and an extensive library that is constantly being added to. As part of our offer, we go out on lots of adventures to woodlands, beaches, National Trust properties and farms. We also go out into the community to visit local toddler groups, soft play areas, parks and forest school giving the children the opportunity to explore and experience the wider world. We meet up with other childminders and their minded children that are in our networking group so that children have the opportunity to mix in larger groups of adults and children and we do visits to a local care-home, which can be very beneficiall for both the children and the residents. We are a pet friendly setting consisting of a dog (of hypo-allergenic breed) named Belle and a guineapig called Jessie. The children love them both and it helps them to learn about caring for animals.
