My Summary
About Me
Hi. I have been childminding since 2005. I do love my job! I have plenty of references and experience. I have two children of my own who love having friends here.
I live in a lovely spacious detached house in Arnold which is a corner plot so plenty of parking space!
Me & my husband are both DBS checked. I work Mon-Fri 8am-6pm term time & school holidays. I can do a 7.30am start for an extra £5.
We have just got a Cavapoo puppy after loosing our beloved old Labrador & Cavalier last year. She is such a joy! The children adore her.
I offer pick up & drop off to Arnold Vale Juniors & Woodthorp infants.
I provide lovely hand written memory folders that include photos & children’s artwork & use development trackers.
Daily photo updates will be sent straight to you. I love doing crafts & taking the children to the park most days.
We have pet fish. I’m a non smoker. I cook all meals from scratch as enjoy providing healthy fresh cooked meals. No ultra processed foods. I can cater for any dietary requirements easily.
I accept all funding.
I have been a home educator so have tons of learning resources as we love to learn through play.
We have a huge two story playhouse in the garden and a swing and slide and sand pit and water table and soil pit and two mud kitchens and a fairy garden & a vegetable garden etc.
Plenty of neurodiverse experiences.
I like to provide a home from home happy environment for your children. Hope to hear from you.
King regards Belinda Cannon.
My Experience
Have have plenty of experience since being a childminder since 2005 and before this I worked as a nursery nurse in a small & a large nursery. I have my own children who absolutely love having children to play with. My little girl is 7 years old and my little boy is 3 years old.
I have looked after a variety of children from all different ages and abilities and backgrounds. Every child gets treated equally to their own individual needs. I have minded children full time from 6 weeks to 16 years and enjoyed every minute of it! (Apart from some bits of paperwork. Hehe!)
My Qualifications
I have my level 2 & 3 NVQ in childcare and education and hold a current 1st aid certificate & Safeguarding & food hygiene and many more....
My Availability
Full time spaces for pre school & before & after school available. I can do pick up & drop off to Arnold Vales Juniors and Woodthorp infants. If you work from home and are able to drop off from other schools then I can accommodate anyone. Please get in touch & look me up for more information. Thanks

Belinda has been our son’s childminder for several months now and we could not recommend her enough 😊
She was recommended by a friend and we are very happy about it.
She is practical, kind, loves her job and the most of all she really knows everything about her job.
We sadly move out of the area, but if you want to have your child in a safe environment, full of fun, and activities then Belinda’s house is the place.

Childminding isn't just a job to Belinda. She builds relationships with the children that go way beyond the time they spend in her care. We were gutted that Belinda was moving away but we are still in touch with Belinda and her lovely family.
Belinda is a professional and takes seriously the educational/developmental aspects of her role without it feeling like the children's time with her is another form of education. Belinda does provide a home from home where the children are loved and cared for. She goes the extra mile by celebrating their birthdays and Christmas etc with them. Her meals are brilliant. The dogs Zsa Zsa and Dotty are wonderful with the children and give you as warm a welcome as Belinda does. She is an absolute diamond.

Awww thank you soooo much!!!! That had made my day. Such kind words. Defo meet up soon. Xxx
Belinda has looked after all 3 of my children, from a few months old to 11 years, and has catered for each of them perfectly. We were really keen for our kids to have a home from
home environment, rather than a nursery setting, for a more personal, relaxed and nurturing environment, and we got all that from Belinda, and more! She cares so much for the children she looks after, and they love her! I can’t recommned her enough!
