About Me

I am an experienced childminder with excellent references, registered with Ofsted for over 20 years and recently awarded strong in all areas. I provide excellent care and fun activities within a friendly family setting where there is always plenty of laughter, lovely children to play with and lots of fun things to explore and play with. We enjoy craft, sensory and imaginative play, playing in the garden and exploring nature. I provide healthy and nutritious home cooked meals.
I am a member of CoramPacey, and undertake regular training including first aid and safeguarding. Before childminding I was a Nursery Teacher for 10 years. I am able to delver the Free Early Education funding for all ages.
I am married with 4 grown up children. Some of my family work from home. I have 3 friendly cats.
I have a dedicated playroom with access to an enclosed garden with exciting activities on offer inside and out. Next to the playroom we have our own table with high chairs so that all the children can eat or do craft together. Children take naps downstairs in travel cots where I can keep an eye on them easily. We attend local Toddler Groups weekly.
I do not drive so we get lots of opportunity for walks and fresh air in the local area, visiting the duck pond in Willian village and hunting for squirrels.

My Experience

I have been childminding for over 20 years, and have looked after children from 5 months to 11 years old.
