Childminder in Mendip District (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
Ofsted 'Strong In All Areas' Childminder
About Me
Hi! I'm mum of two girls (6 and 5). We are currently moving from Epsom, Surrey to the Chew Valley in the summer. I am a former primary school teacher turned childminder. I have been childminding now for 3 years and love it! After the school drop off, we spend our mornings at local playgroups, rhyme time and National Trust properties or farm visits. We currently have an allotment which my little ones love helping me dig, harvest and water. We are planning a move to Chewton Mendip where we will have lots more space to play. We love being outside in nature. I have recently been inspected by Ofsted where I was very pleased to receive 'Strong' in all areas.
We have two much loved and pampered cats, Bonnie and Marge. I enjoy ceramics, gardening and reading in my spare time.
My Experience
I am a qualified Teacher specialised in Key Stage 1 and Early Years. I taught in Nursery and Reception classes across London for 12 years. I am confident with planning fun activities to deliver the Early Years Curriculum. I was a 'Lead Teacher' in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea and ran workshops to support EYFS teachers, particularly with how to extend children's mathematical thinking. My speciality was my continuous provision but I also love finding creative ways to teach phonics! I have been childminding for 3.5 years and have done lots of babysitting. I have experience working with children with SEND including speech delay, ADHD, diabetes management and cerebral palsy. I have worked alongside other professionals to support these children to achieve their full potential. I am paediatric first aid trained and every adult in my family is DBS checked and on the DBS update service.
My Qualifications
I have qualified teacher status (QTS). I have BA Hons in English and American Literature. I am Ofsted inspected and graded 'Strong' in all areas. I am Paediatric First Aid trained. I have completed a home-based childcare qualification to become a registered childminder.
My Availability
I am fully registered with Ofsted. We hope to be moving in July and will be available to take children on from September, subject to a smooth house sale. Settling sessions would be available at the beginning of September. I'm offering term time only childcare, although there could be some flexibility on offering ad hoc days during the holidays with enough notice given. I work part time Monday to Wednesday. I am an under -3 setting. I offer ad hoc evening babysitting.
My Fees
- Babysitting from £12.00 per hour
- Childminding from £8.50 per hour
I am registered to accept Working Tax Credit and Free Childcare for working parents funded hours.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Maddy care for our daughter over the past year. She has built such a strong, caring, and positive relationship with her, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares for the children she looks after. Our daughter absolutely loves her “Maddy days” and is always excited to spend time with her.
Maddy has played such an important role in our daughter’s learning and development, providing a nurturing, fun, and supportive environment where she has thrived. We are so grateful for everything she has done and would highly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional childminder. Thank you, Maddy, for being such a special part of our daughter’s journey.
