About Me


I have been an OFSTED Registered childminder since February 2005 and have seen a variety of children come and go!

This is the place to be for fun & games for all ages.

There is plenty to do from arts & crafts, baking, outings, gardening, music & dancing, puzzles, dressing up, ball pits, mini slide and lots more.

We also go to regular Childminder Drop-ins and Toddler groups where we can meet other childminders and children of similar ages. We also attend the local library on a regular basis to borrow books and attend Rhyme Time.

The children have their own play area in the garden which is Astro turfed for all weather play.

I also have 2 female guinea pigs which the children love to handle and help top up food/hay.

My Experience

I have two sons, both now adults and a grandson.

I’ve been a childminder since February 2005. During this time I have cared for children from 5 months through to 12 years.

I have experience of dealing with allergies. My policies and procedures are all in place and I have a GOOD inspection grade from OFSTED.

My Qualifications

Over the years I have attended regular training sessions. This has included EYFS, Food Hygiene, Promoting Positive Behaviour, Health & Safety (including Risk Assessment), Activities for Over 5's, Motor Sensory Project, Safeguarding Children and many more.

Good
9 January 2024
A warm and welcoming environment awaits children at this childcare setting, where personal and social development is prioritized. The curriculum includes community activities to enhance social experiences, with high expectations for behavior maintained. Children receive plenty of love and praise during engaging play. Improvements could be made in targeting younger children's speech development and establishing stronger links with other early years settings attended.
