My Summary
About Me
Monday & Tuesday space available from January 2027
I am a married mum of 2 children. I live in the village of Great Denham, Bedfordshire. I have a small dog and 2 cats. I have a love for being outdoors. We often take walks in the local woods and have been known to climb mountains on our family holidays. I love to explore nature and show my own children how to respect the world we live in. We love jumping in puddles and will always go for an adventure to find some in our wellies. I am a happy go lucky parent that thrives off seeing my children grow and develop and giving the opportunities to make their own memories and experiences. I love animals so often go to local farms and petting zoos. My favourite is Rookery Farm. I have a love for science and seeing how things work which often leads to making rainbows with water and light.
I have a large back garden giving children all the space they’ll need to play, learn and explore. Within my garden I have a summer house which is converted to a messy play area. This giving children the space to use glitter, paint, glue and make whatever their imagination lets them. These are my favourite places to be.
