About Me

Hi, my name is Julie, and I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Helsby, Cheshire. I am highly qualified Early Years practitioner with 10 years experience. I have two children of my own, one at University and one at High School. I like to go for walks, bake and do a little gardening in my spare time. I enjoyi listening to music and reading good psychological/crime books.

I've worked in a busy pre-school in Frodsham gaining all my qualifications and experiences. I recently set up my own childminding/babysitting business in January 2021. I had my Ofsted inspection Nov 2021 with a grading of "Good"

"The childminder is friendly and welcoming. Children form secure attachments with
her and continuously demonstrate that they feel safe, happy and secure in her
home. The childminder is warm and caring in her approach and has high
expectations of young children. Children explore the environment with increasing
confidence, having the reassurance that the childminder is close by. They
independently select the resources they wish to use and are developing their
concentration skills."

I provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating home from home environment where your child will be well loved and cared for.
I will encourage and support your child's learning through purposefully planned activities following their individual interests and developmental needs.
I value each child as an individual and aim to develop a love of learning.
I will build, in each child, their confidence, independence and resilience in preparation for future learning and have fun along the way.
I follow and implement the EYFS and support your child to reach their full potential.

I do like to get out and about with the children as much as possible. We go to the local park and others in Cheshire. Different toddler groups each week, Helsby Quarry, local walks, visits to the library and local shops. Trips to the zoo and Walton Hall Gardens and lots of other places of interest.

My Experience

I was a pre school practitioner in Little Overtons' Preschool Frodsham for 8 years, which was a very happy time and I loved caring and interacting with the children. Unfortunately I was made redundant in 2020. So I put all my skills, experiences and qualities to open my own childminding business.

My Qualifications

Ofsted registered. I have Advanced Level Apprenticeship in The Children and Young People's Workforce: Early Years Educator. Paediatric First Aid. L2 Safeguarding Children. Food Hygiene. Autism General Awareness. Keyworker. Experience and extensive knowledge of the EYFS curriculum. Awareness and understanding of Cultural Capital, British Values and Prevent Duty. I engage in training on a regular basis to update my professional development.

My little boy goes to Julie’s childcare and he is absolutely thriving. He has been with her from 9 months old and has settled in so much so, he smiles when we get to the door. He now makes his own way to the play room when I drop him off without even a glance back at me! Julie is extremely professional and knows her stuff about child development but she is also compassionate, calm, proactive and takes the children on fantastic days out. My family and I feel so so lucky to have found such a wonderful person to take care of our boy 🩵

My grandson attends Julies childcare and he loves it. I seen a few childminders before deciding to go with Julie. My grandson was very clingy to me and I was worried that he wouldn’t settle with a childminder but I needn’t have worried. After the first coupe of settling in sessions he was loving his time with Julie. I would highly recommend ❤️ I get updates from Julie during the day with pics and a rundown of how he’s been that day. My Grandson loves attending the park and groups with Julie. I definitely made the right choice ❤️❤️Julie has also has my two older boys (twins aged 7) during the holidays. One of my boys had additional needs and Julie works amazingly with him. Julie is great with the three kids and makes sure the day is filled with different activities to suit all. Can’t recommend enough!
