About Me

I am a mum of 3, and a qualified BHS equine instructor of 30 years - teaching children from 3 years +.
As a childminder, I provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow. Our setting is very much a home from home where the children are supported as unique individuals and are valued and loved. Working alongside me are my daughters, Katy, who very much shares the same ethos and values and my daughter Emily who is a qualified level 3 early years educator.

My Experience

I am a qualified BHS equine instructor of 30 years. My role here involved teaching children as young as 3 to ride and care for horses. I am a mother of 3 children, whom I raised whilst running the behind the scenes of my husband’s business. During this time, I also cared for friends children who struggled to settle at nursery, and most recently my nephew from 12 weeks old. My caring nature also transpired through to my parents-in-law who both have sadly suffered with dementia. I have undertaken nanny work, but have now been an ofsted registered childminder for over 2 years!

This childminder setting meets expected standards across all six assessed areas, with safeguarding requirements met. Children make steady progress in a nurturing, inclusive environment where they feel safe and valued. Strengths include positive behaviour management, strong partnerships with parents, and a commitment to professional development. However, improvements are needed in allowing children more thinking time during interactions, using conversations to better extend learning and language development, and consistently adapting activities to meet the varying needs of different ages and developmental stages.
