My Summary
About Me
I offer funded hour contracts and have a part time vacancy for 15+ hours between hours of 9.15 to 2.45 Tuesdays to fridaysfor child age 2+ who is confident walker and does not need to be in a pushchair.
Affordable rates
No admin/enrollment fees.

My opening hours are 8am to 5pm
I offer term time contracts.
I am based in a quiet area in BD6 with a large conservatory dedicated to children's play and learning. There is an enclosed garden. Wibsey Park and other outdoor areas are within easy walking distance.
I have been a childminder for 26 years and have a lot of experience with children.l also I have 4 children of my own and I am also a grandma of 2.
Children attending my setting are greeted at start of day, cared for and passed to parent/carer at end of day by myself only as I do not have assistants and able to keep adult to child ratios low and a calm and relaxed learning environment. As I am the only person caring for the children I am able to build good relationships with children and parents/carers. Also parents/carers know who the children are looked after by.
I am registered with Ofsted,and been inspected March 2024 and the inspection report will be available in due course.
My previous inspection (April 2018) I was Good grade that they gave and the report states some comments (which follow)which confirms that the children's needs are priority. The following statements are from my report.
"Children are extremely content and happy to be in the childminder's home. She has developed close attachments with children and responds well to their needs. As a result,children's emotional well-being is promoted."
"The safeguarding of children is given high priority"
I work within the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines for planning,activities,experiences,and Portfolio work for the children.
Also I have gained NVQ level 3 in children's care,learning and development.
I undertake training to keep with changes, regulations and new ideas to put into place within my setting. This is done in my own time but I feel it is for children's benefit as well as for my setting.
I take the children out regularly to toddler groups,library,park,other minders and outings to various places and events.

Both my children attended Monica's from the age of 2, and I am so glad that I chose for Monica to care for them. She is an amazing lady who will look after your children like they are her own. I can not fault one thing about my Son's time with her.

Thank you Sarah for such a lovely review.
I enjoyed looking after both boys and seeing them ready for the next stage in their learning.
My daughter has been going to Monica’s since she was 9 month old and now she’s over 2 years old. She’s come on leaps and bounds since she started and is now a confident and quite dependant toddler. She loves going to see her other friends there and enjoys playing. She loves doing colouring, counting, singing, colours and painting.
Highly recommended childminder.

We took our son to Monica after having difficulties finding child care as our little boy would not settle. We was very worried that it would be the same again but Monica assured us she would not give up and she kept her word. After a few weeks of tears Harry came out of his shell and by a couple of months he absolutely loved going to Monica's and would get very exited in a morning when we said where we was going. Monica is very loving and caring towards the kids she has in her care and always had time for parents. In the few months Harry was with Monica we saw his development come up leaps and bounds. Would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a minder.
I sent my little boy to Monica and he has come on leaps and bounds, Monica keeps me informed of his daily activities and progress.
My son enjoys going in a morning to play with his friends at Monica's and at playgroups.
I would like to highly recommend Monica for any age group.
Thank you Monica for all you have done.

Thank you Leanne for this review,it was a lovely surprise as I had no idea you were going to do it. It is so nice to be appreciated. Looking after your son and seeing him developing is so rewarding and my children and other children who attend my setting think he is great.
Thank you again
