My Summary
Childminding In Whitley Bay
About Me
Hello, my name is Beth, I am an ofsted registered childminder.
I live in Whitley bay with my partner Dan, who is my assistant, and our 5 children aged 19, 16, 14, 5 and 3. We also have 2 very cute young cats called Mango and Biggie.
We pride ourselves on our setting being a fun filled, home from home, environment with a real family feel.
Our home has a dedicated playroom with a lovely reading corner, role play area, lots of toys and home comforts. We also have a garden with artificial grass that we can use all year round.
In a typical day we visit local toddler groups, stay and play sessions and classes together. Spend time at home doing arts and crafts, messy play and lots of free play, and enjoy lots of time outdoors, exploring and adventuring in nature, at the beach and in our lovely parks. We also visit the aquarium and local farms.
