About Me
I am a holistic therapist, I need the childminder’s home to be walking distance from London Road RM7, my mum collects baby and she doesn’t drive.
I am easy going and we as a household love music, travelling and adventure. JC and I are looking for someone that loves what they do, has plenty of love to give and will become part of the family.
Qualities we look for are consistency, honesty, open minded, humble and approachable. Also it’s important that personal interruptions do not become an issue during the hours with her extended family.

My partner and I paid a visit to this home and it wasn’t set up according to Offsted regulations, the day of the visit we agreed a rate and stipulations such as diet requirements etc… My partner and I returned happy home and the next day a string of pertinent messages followed that were contrary to any our conversation and when I called to clarify the child minder was rude and dismissive to my concerns. I would not feel comfortable leaving my child in care of an individual with this lack of integrity

No childcare contract was signed and no childcare took place.
I follow Ofsted requirements for registered childminders and I’m happy to provide evidence of compliance to any parent considering a place.
I wish this family all the best in finding the right setting.
I have bee cancelled on twice now with 2hours notice for a meet and greet the first excuse was that she was too tired and today no excuse at all she simply refused to send the address with and excuse about needing 2 days minimum which was not discussed before and then simply didn't reply to my text. Paula's behaviour is unprofessional to say the least would not trust my child with her.

Good afternoon Maria, it’s a shame you feel this way. I’ve only spoken to you once via text message and I haven’t even met you. I pride myself on being professional but I don’t think you can say I’m unprofessional when you haven’t even met me or even spoken to me on the phone. It’s quite shocking that you can leave such a nasty review when you haven’t even met me. As you can see I have fantastic reviews from past and present families who value the service I offer. Good luck in your search for childcare.
