About Me

We are a mother and daughter team, who will be working together to provide quality care and education for your children. Offering an array of play-based learning experiences based on your child’s individual needs and/or interest.  

Our aims are to provide opportunities for your children to develop their independence capabilities to become confident and resilient lifelong learners. We strive to equip your pride and joy with the essential skills that will ensure they excel to their fullest potential as they access further education services throughout their childhood and beyond.  

Firwood Childminders is based on Shayfield Avenue, Chadderton, occupying a secure back garden and a driveway suitable for drop off and collections, we present a designated playroom, separate dining area, downstairs toilet and a spare bedroom offering additional space for play. 

We are registered with Oldham council and are able to offer government-funded places.  

We are both DBS checked and have a current and valid Paediatric First Aid qualification.
