About Me

Hello, my name is Dawn and I’m an Ofsted registered childminder in the Welling area, with many years of experience. I am also a member of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY).

I’m based in Welling and live in a 3 bedroom semi-detached house with my partner of 31 years who is also my assistant. Local transport links are strong, I’m only a 5 minute walk from Falconwood station and the B15 bus route runs past my house.

I have 2 adorable cats and one tortoise. They are child friendly and in the past the children have loved helping to get involved and take care of them.

I offer dedicated care and education in a warm and welcoming environment. I have a well-stocked playroom with an excellent range of toys and resources to enable your child to learn and develop in a fun and friendly way.

Indoor activities include painting, play-dough, arts and crafts, baking, story and song time. I also have a generous garden with a swings, play house and a mud kitchen; other outdoor activities include sand and water play, planting seeds and bulbs and access to a selection of bikes, scooters and balls.

Oxlea woods are on our doorstep and so offer the opportunity for additional outdoor space and a chance to spot wildlife. Other outings include farm visits, parks,playgroups and soft play areas.

My partner and I are both CRB certified/checked.

My Experience

I have many years of experience in providing care for babies and children between the ages of 5 months to 14 years. I pride myself on raising children in a stimulating yet fun environment and I am able to provide a range of excellent references from previous parents.

In my last OFSTED inspection I was graded GOOD in all areas.

There is a particular emphasis on developing a love for books, with children eagerly engaging in storytelling activities. While offering a range of learning opportunities, there is room for improvement in supporting children's emotional understanding and encouraging perseverance in challenging tasks.

Below are the latest reviews for dgeorge4. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Dawn has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old. She is now 9 years old and I cannot recommend her more highly. She is kind and caring and I have absolute trust in her looking after my daughter. She has a great understanding of children and every day spent with her is fun and stimulating.

It is a daunting prospect to leave your child with someone you do not know, but from the minute Dawn opened the door to us 9 years ago, I felt instantly relieved and confident my daughter would be well looked after. If you are looking for a childminder that is reliable, helpful, professional and trustworthy, look no further than Dawn.
