My Summary
Childminder In Reigate.
About Me
Hi, my name is Julie. I am an OFSTED registered childminder graded Outstanding. I am registered to offer the 15 hours universal funding and the 30 hours extended funding.
I live in a semi-detached house in a residential road in Reigate. My home is within walking distance of bus routes. Local playgrounds, playgroups and schools are also within walking distance.
I have a downstairs playroom especially built for childminding. A light, airy room with child- sized seating and a huge selection of toys and books, the playroom offers a safe and comfortable space to play.
The outside area comprises of a large, purpose built patio area with a play house, ride- on cars and dolls pushchairs. The grass area is laid with artificial grass, allowing for play all year round.
My Experience
I have been a childminder for 31 years, so have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge with regards to childminding. Over the years, I have cared for over forty children from all different backgrounds; many of whom began coming to the setting at three months old and left the setting as they started school.
I have a level four qualification and an up to date first aid certificate.
My Qualifications
I have attended many different workshops and seminars over the last 31 years, gaining a breadth of knowledge of childminding in the early years. All my certificates are displayed in my profile book for current and prospective parents to view.

Our daughter has been with Julie for the past 2 years and we highly recommend her.
We didn’t tell Julie this until now, but within our house we refer to her as Mary Poppins. She manages to find the perfect balance of fun, learning and boundaries.
I have been able to go to work and be confident that our daughter is not only being well looked after, but also having opportunities to take part in varied activities both indoors and outdoors, with Julie sending photo updates during the day.
Our daughter is always happy and excited to go to Julies house and you can’t ask for more than that.

Julie has been looking after my daughter for over 2 years from when she was 1 years old and I couldn't be happier with her care.
My daughter has grown into a very polite, happy girl and is always talking about her days at Julie's and is always excited to go back. Julie is also very nurturing, and it is very clear that my daughter is very comfortable and settled there, which she has been from the start.
The setting at Julie's is brilliant, and she also takes the children out to toddler groups and outings to places like soft play, farms and to see Father Christmas which I think is a lovely touch.
I cannot recommend Julie enough!

Both of my children have been looked after by Julie and I could not be happier with her care (and I am very fussy). Julie is nurturing and caring and both of my children have been so happy with her. The activities that Julie provides are varied and exciting; from arts and crafts to visits to the theatre. It is very clear that Julie has a passion for childminding and she always ensures that the atmosphere at her house is welcoming and warm. If you are looking for a childminder then your search ends her. Julie will tick all the boxes!

Julie made a real effort to get to know my daughter right from the start and they have a lovely relationship. I always feel that my daughter is so well taken care of and that all of her needs are sensitively met. Julie takes care to really notice her engagement and achievements too. I really cannot recommend Julie highly enough and thank her for all the effort she continues to make to ensure my daughter's well-being and happiness.
