My Summary
About Me
I am committed to providing a nurturing 'home from home' environment where children's strengths, abilities, and interests are celebrated and respected. I believe in following the 'voice of the child,' valuing their perspectives and interests as I guide their learning journey. Using their interests as a springboard, I encourage children to explore new avenues of learning, fostering excitement and a willingness to step outside their comfort zones. It is paramount that the children in my care feel safe, special, and empowered to reach their full potential. I want the children to be excited about learning new things and to feel comfortable stepping outside their comfort zones. Through collaborative play, I facilitate a dynamic learning environment where children not only develop academic skills but also lifelong independent physical, emotional and sociable skills. My approach is designed to empower children to become confident, curious, and resilient learners, fostering a love for learning that extends far beyond their time with me.
As a full time working family, we have experienced the troubles of not having childcare available for us that caters around our working hours. I understand the importance and demands of your work/educational commitments and am here to ease the pressure by providing reliable and flexible childcare that fits your schedule.

My Experience
have gained extensive experience across a range of childcare settings, from nurseries to secondary schools. Most recently, I was employed as an Attendance Officer at a secondary school, where I supported students and families to promote consistent school attendance. In addition, I have also worked as an assistant in a childminding environment, contributing to the care and development of young children in a home-based setting. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a parent to two children, the youngest of whom is nine years old.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our child received from Nancy. She creates a warm, safe, and fun environment where our child is happy, engaged, and well looked after. Communication is clear and consistent, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. Highly recommended!
