Parent partnership
I believe in open, honest communication and provide regular updates on your child’s day, including meals, naps, activities, and milestones. My goal is to ensure you feel reassured and confident while your child is in my care.
My Experience
I have been a registered childminder since 2023, and during this time I have built a warm, nurturing, and well-organised setting that supports children’s learning, confidence, and independence. Before becoming a childminder, I worked for 17 years as an accounts administrator within a logistics company, where I developed strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities — all of which support my role in running a safe and structured childcare environment.
Alongside my professional experience, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for young children. This includes babysitting, supporting family and friends with childcare, and of course raising my own two children. These experiences have given me a real understanding of children’s needs, different personalities, and the importance of creating a calm, consistent routine.
My background has helped shape the caring, reliable, and child-focused approach I bring to my setting today.
My Qualifications
• Enhanced DBS checks for myself and all household members aged 16 and over
• Full Paediatric First Aid certification
• Level 3 Safeguarding trained
• Completed the Childminding UK Ofsted-recognised Introductory Training Course, covering:
• Understanding and working within the EYFS
• Recording and monitoring children’s development
• Safeguarding children
• Supporting children’s learning and development
• Leading and managing a childminding setting
I have also completed various additional training courses, and all certificates are available to view on request.
