About Me

Hi, I’m an Ofsted registered childminder in Chester le Street. I live with my husband, two children and our cockapoo puppy Meg. Our home is friendly, fun and laid back with lots of space to play including designated playroom for the children and a large, secure garden. Our playroom is safe, warm and fully equipped to meet children’s needs, our garden is full of nature, toys, equipment and our much loved bubble machine!
I provide children with the best learning opportunities tailored to meet the needs of individual child in a warm, friendly, safe and nurturing ‘home from home’ environment. I do this by being fully invested in the children I care for, our days are varied and can include outings to the Riverside Park, soft play, Chester le Street library, local toddler groups or trips further afield such as Dream Big, Hawick Park, Preston Park Butterfly World and Locomotion just to list a few. We enjoy crafts, messy play, making music, singing and of course free play and relaxing time. As an Ofsted registered childminder, I follow the Early Years Statutory Framework when planning our days and designing our activities. I incorporate a school run to Newker Primary school in our day and often take children to school performances and events which allows us to have a ‘feel for school’ and meet teachers and other children in school.
Routine is important to us, while being flexible with this we always have designated nap time and regular meals and snacks. I offer healthy, nutritionally balanced, home cooked food and snacks which change regularly to ensure the children are given a wide variety of food. Safe eating is also crucial and as such I follow the guidance given in the Early Years Statutory Framework on safer eating.
As a parent myself, I understand the importance of being confident that your child is nurtured, safe and has every need met with care and careful consideration and while I am certain the children in my care are kept clean, healthy and safe I am aware that parents need to know this too, which is why I use the Babysdays app. The Babysdays app gives parents real time updates on the care given to children during the day such as naps, nappy changes, suncream applied, medication administered, meal times including the kind of food eaten and how much. With permission, I also take lots of photos of children which I can share with you. I am transparent in the care I provide and communicate with parents about any issues or queries which may arise.

My Experience

I have always loved caring for people and children of all ages, while studying at University for my degree, I worked for Sunderland Social Services on school summer holiday play schemes for children with SEND, I loved this job I met so many wonderful children and we had so much fun going on trips and carrying out activities in school settings. Once I had gained my BA Hons in Sociology, I went on to use my new skills as a Housing Officer in Sunderland. Whilst this job was not focused on caring solely for children, it involved working in the community alongside families with complex needs. I worked alongside agencies such as health care, social care and contractors in teams around families to improve outcomes for people on some of the most deprived estates. I gained much experience in advocating for the needs of my customers and developed a tenacity and perseverance for this which I bring to my role as a childminder.
I have also worked on a voluntary basis as a school Governor and parent helper at Newker Primary School. This was another job I absolutely adored, I have recently scaled back my commitment to this as my Childminding business has grown.
I have been an Ofsted registered childminder since June 2024, my business is successful and I have relished seeing the children I care for grow and develop. The children I care for have stayed with me since starting and I have positive feedback from parents about the services I provide.
I offer places to children whose parent’s pay privately, receive government funding and or tax free childcare. If you have any queries about the childcare I provide, childcare funding or childminding services in general please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help in any way I can, Thank you for taking time to look at my profile.
