About Me

Bright stars childminding- offering that home away from home whilst following the EYFS. We are an Ofsted registered childminder offering flexible hours, tax free childcare and 15/30 free hours where eligible.

My Experience

I pride myself on having a safe child friendly environment offering great care, learning and space to grow. Allowing all children to explore and grow at their own pace whilst learning and interacting with others. Making sure they are school ready, whilst providing a fun, stimulating and happy environment for them to thrive! We follow the curriculum of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and teach Read, Write, Inc to promote school readiness.
We do regular outings to local play centres, farms, parks and Belton adventure play.
I have looked after babies up to children age 10. I have two children myself aged 4 and 9.
