My Summary
About Me
SPACES AVAILABLE
We are now accepting weekends and overnight spaces!*
Hi, I am an Ofsted registered Childminder and my company is called True Sparks Childcare. I have decades of experience in caring for children due to being a mother myself and a high school teacher and I have successfully raised 2 children who are now adults. I spend a lot of time around children as swimming teacher who teaches children aged 6 months onwards.
I am also a fully qualified biology and physical education teacher at high schools. I hope to provide an environment were any child will feel at home. I provide a wide range of activities both educational and fun, in addition, I have a range of toys to suit all ages. Part of the catered activities includes walks to Heaton Park which is less than ten minutes walk from the house.
Having worked in schools and with children for the past 2 decades, I believe that the most important stage of child development is from a very early age and I feel that I can contribute towards empowering parents to achieve their goal in raising happy, healthy and intelligent children.
