About Me
I’m a 38 year old, mother of 2 children who are 13 & 8.
I am located just a short walk from navigation metro link and can provide wrap around care for pupils from Navigation Primary School.
I have a designated play room and a large garden area perfect for children to explore.
I love being outdoors and my outdoor area is fantastic, I have rabbits and fish that children love to get involved with and help take care of. I have a rabbit vegetable patch where the children can help grow and maintain their own vegetables for the rabbits. I really enjoy growing seasonal plants and flowers with the children too, including my annual "Who can grow the tallest sunflower" competition.
Also, we have recently become very proud owners of a baby tortoise named Sheldon. He is very cute and a huge hit with the children.
My home also backs on to a wooded area that is absolutely full of wildlife such as foxes, birds and squirrels. We even have a blush of Robbins who nest in the holly bush just over the fence and they often fly into the garden to visit.
I also have a large grassed area and separate playground including a climbing frame, swings, slide and trampoline.
Baking and cooking are a couple of things I love doing with the children and I will involve them in the day to day food preparation as much as I can. I believe this is a life skill and teaches children about making healthy choices and also enhances their mathematical skills through weighing ingredients and learning about how long things take to cook.
My main goal is to create a home from home for all the children in my care, for them to be happy and develop their own self confidence in order for them to thrive.

Our little boy has been going to Amy’s for about 10 months now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Amy has created a warm, safe environment where my son truly feels at home.
Our boy absolutely loves his time there and always comes home very happy. At Amy's, food is cooked fresh every day. My boy often comes home telling me what he’s eaten and how much he enjoyed it. Amy also has a lovely garden where the children can safely enjoy lots of outdoor time.
One big difference I’ve noticed compared to when he previously attended nursery is that he always comes home clean, and he's generally been much less prone to the illnesses children often pick up in larger settings.
We don’t use English as our first language at home, but my son has been picking up so much English purely from being with Amy. His language has come on amazingly well.
We can’t thank Amy enough for the care, love, and attention she gives our son. We feel very lucky to have found her.
