About Me

Hi, my name is Mary and I live on the north side of Calne with my husband Martin and daugher Maisie who is currently at University. Before I started childminding I previously worked for 16 years at the Citizens Advice Bureau in Chippenham.

My Experience

I have been childminding now for 18 years and can honestly say no two days are the same!

I am a Quality Assured Accredited Childminder which means I am able to take the 15 hour Nursery Education Vouchers from the government when a child reaches the age of 3 giving more flexibility for parents.

My Qualifications

I am Ofsted Registered. A Quality Assured ACCREDITED Childminder. I have a current Paediatric First Aid Certificate, ICO, Food Hygiene Certificate and Safeguarding Children Certificate.

I have completed my NVQ Level 3 Childrens Care Learning and Development and regularly do training to keep up to date.

My Availability

I currently have no vacancies.

A warm and welcoming atmosphere greets children at this childcare setting. The environment promotes child-led play and outdoor activities, with a strong focus on supporting communication skills. Children choose their activities and are encouraged to explore nature and develop physical skills. The childminder uses various techniques to enhance language development, including songs, rhymes, and letter sounds. While the overall experience is positive, there is room for improvement in ensuring equal interaction with all children during group activities.
