My Summary
About Me
Just a quick hi to introduce myself! I'm Devon and the childminder behind Bright Berries Childcare! My husband 'Mr Berry' and I have 3 wonderful children of our own currently aged 8, 4 and our new addition is 3 months old! They are partly the reason for me entering childminding, I want to create an environment that I would like my children to have been in.
I really want to give children a home from home with wonderful experiences and learning opportunities whilst feeling loved and special! Play is key in order for children to learn and that will be what my setting is all about! I plan on filling the space full of laughter, smiles and play! :)
My Experience
In addition to my children, another reason I have made the move into childminding is my love for early years, during my teacher training I specialised in early years and have been teaching for 6 years with another 8 years previous working as a TA and within a nursery.

Devon had our little girl from 8 months until just after she turned 2. She absolutely loved going from day one to the point she shut the door in my face and wanted to get inside as quickly as possible everyday!! She went above and beyond to ensure she gave her the best time there and so many learning opportunities. She regularly updated me throughout the day which as a first time mom leaving your 8 month old with someone is petrifying. From day 1 I felt comfortable Devon having our little girl, it was just like she was with family! I am so grateful to Devon for everything she has done with our little girl. She has only left the setting due to me taking time out with our second daughter so I will be looking after both myself. I was heartbroken to take her from the setting because of how much she loved it there! I can’t thank Devon enough for everything she has done for our little girl, she really was part of the family. Any child left with her would have the best time and is in the safest hands!

Our daughter spent almost 3 years with Devon and I couldnt sing her praises any higher. She creates a warm, friendly and educational setting for the children to develop and grow safely. We have used other childcare providers and cannot even begin to compare. The communication and daily updates with pictures is so lovely to recieve, her home is safe and welcoming with a variety of toys and planned activities. Most of all the development in our daughter shines above all, she has been made to feel safe and confident to take risks. So many of the activities are educational which has meant that our daughter is ahead of all her peers in her new setting. I would highly recommend Devon as a minder, as a family we feel very lucky to have had her in our lives and we are very sad that this era is over!
