About Me

I live in Ash Vale in a quiet cul-de-sac with my daughter (born 2006). I am trustworthy, reliable, patient and caring. I have a smoke-free and pet free home. I have 2 designated playrooms and an enclosed garden for the children to enjoy. We go out daily to playgroup & music, parks, woodland and meet up with local childminders. There is always some messy play, painting and crafts going on too! Children are given opportunities to learn through play, develop friendships and have lots of fun.

I offer Funding and Tax-free childcare.

My Experience

I'm a registered childminder of 19 years, prior to this I worked in Day Care Nurseries for 6 years where I completed my NVQ 3 qualification in Childcare and Early Years. I've looked after children as young as 5 months old to 10 years. I have strong knowledge of the 7 areas of learning within the EYFS Curriculum and this is what I use to support children develop their skills as they grow. I follow regulations set out in this too to deliver high quality childcare.

Good
9 April 2025
A recent inspection found that this childcare setting provides a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on personal and social development. The curriculum emphasizes independence skills in preparation for school, and children benefit from daily outdoor activities. Strong partnerships with parents are maintained through regular communication. However, the inspection noted that more opportunities could be provided for children to verbally express their ideas, to further develop their speech and vocabulary.
