My Summary

Ofsted Registered Childminder With One Place Becoming Available In January 

My Experience

Caring for children has always been a huge part of my life — both personally and professionally.
Before becoming Ofsted registered, I gained many years of childcare experience through a variety of roles. I worked as a private nanny, provided informal childminding, and spent time as a foster carer throughout the lockdown period — a role that deepened my understanding of children’s individual needs and the importance of creating a safe, stable, and nurturing environment.
Since becoming Ofsted registered, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many children in my home, including those with special circumstances (SEN) and twins. My approach is all about providing a warm, home-from-home setting where children can thrive, feel valued, and have fun while learning through play and exploration.
Creativity is also a big part of who I am. Before working in childcare full-time, I owned and managed my own flower shop as a fully qualified florist for many years. This love of creativity naturally extends to my childcare — we spend lots of time doing arts and crafts, exploring nature, and encouraging imagination.
As a family, we enjoy being outdoors, exploring local parks, zoos, and attractions — we’re Merlin Pass holders, so adventure and discovery are a big part of what we do.
I take pride in offering a professional, reliable, and caring service that truly feels like a second home for the children I look after
