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! I will be offering drop off & pick ups from Arnold View school. Me & my husband are both DBS checked. I work Mon-Fri 8am-6pm term time & school holidays.
Xx 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 as have 2 very well behaved dogs that are great with children that the children adore. I’m a non smoker. I cook all meals from scratch as enjoy providing healthy fresh cooked meals. I can cater for any dietary requirements easily. I like to provide a home from home happy environment for your children. Hope to hear from you.
King regards Belinda Cannon.

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!

Aww thank you very much Anna. That’s put a huge smile on my face. Such lovely words. You star 🌟 xxx
Belinda has been the carer to my two children since they were babies. my son is now 14 and my daughter is 10. Belinda was so committed to their care that she waited to relocate to Arnold.
Belinda walks and use public transport to lots of places with my two and she is an all weather girl so they are guaranteed to get fresh sir air. They always had great adventures with Belinda and they learnt to be loving and kind and independent too
