My Summary
About Me
I'm Anita Boardman, OFSTED registered childminder in Droylsden 2 minutes from Manchester Rd Primary and Sun Shine pre school. I’m 50 years old with over 20+ years experience with children aged 0-16 some with special needs. I was graded 2 "good" which means Childminding practice is stong.
My husband Alan is a security advisor and is 58, I have one child Victoria who is 19, she’s always loved having other children around her and as made lots of great friends over the years.
My Experience
As an OFSTED registered childminder I've looked after more than 50 children both long and short term over this period of time so far
My Environment
I can offer your children a warm stimulating environment which is clean, safe and secure. I have a fully equipped play room with a wide selection of educational and recreational toys to suit all ages and a rear garden for out door activities with a trampoline, also securely fenced.
What I do
I always make sure the children are involved in daily group activities to stimulate their minds, such as painting and drawing, model making, role playing and they always seem to remember to make lots of special mementos to take home to their proud parents.
I attend various activity groups and where permitted take children on outings to different places like the local parks, indoor centres and soft play centres. Each child will have their own progress folder for parents to view and eventually take home.
My Qualifications
Virtually all the children I’ve minded have been long term from a few months old to 14 years of age. I've many references from past and current parents whose children have attended my setting and are available to view on request. I and my family are all CRB Checked / Police Checked. I hold an up to date Public Liability insurance through the child minding insurance specialist Michael Morton Ltd.

My son absolutely loves going to Anita she is such a kind and caring person who has very high standards as she is very experienced with children as she has done it for many many years. Anita looks after my 4 year old son in school holidays and for school drop offs and pick ups. Anita is very trustworthy, reliable and lots of fun, she has lots of activities planned for the children to keep them occupied, she takes them on lots of trips out durning school holidays and parks etc when she can. I feel that Anita goes above and beyond for all the children that are in her care and my mind is always at ease when I am at work because I know he is looked after amazingly and is very happy in her care.

Thankyou christina for your loverly review I love looking after perseas iv only had him 6 weeks but I have noticed a difference from when he started with me he is well behaved an has come on leaps an bounds with me he is always smiling at me when Im interacting with him an he is very loving to me which shows me he feels safe with me I love looking after him he is a loverly little boy very pleasant an his family are all loverly too..anita
Anita had my two Grandchildren all through the six weeks holidays. They had a great time with her she took them out to the parks and walks 3 times a day. She had so many different activities catering for both boys and girls. The children absolutely love Anita now they think of her more of a family member than their childminder. Anita keeps you updated on daily activities and sends pictures of the children she goes out of her way to accommodate you even picking my Granddaughter up when my Grandson was not feeling too good. We had such a good experience with Anita we decided to stay with her when I returned to work full time they are now in Breakfast and Evening club Anita takes them and collects them from school. I highly recommended anyone looking for a childminder to look up Anita she’s fantastic and all her kids love her and a big thank you to Alan her husband he is a lovely helpful man.
