My Summary

My Experience

I have almost 20 years of childcare experience ranging from working in nursery’s, teaching and childminding.


I started childminding in 2017 and received a good rating in my Ofsted inspection in 2019. In 2022 I decided to take extended maternity leave taking care of my two girls and newborn son. I am currently waiting for my pre registration in June to be able to open my doors for childminding in September.

I provide a home from home nurturing environment where your child can grow and flourish. Children will have access to the downstairs area and free flow into the garden weather permitting. I follow your child’s individual interests as well incorporating the early years curriculum. I will offer a variety of activities such as: Sensory play, messy play, small world, mark making. I also take the children out regularly to offer social learning experiences. I often take them to the library, Drusillas, local parks, play groups and many more.

My Qualifications

I am level 3 qualified in childcare and hold an up to date first aid qualification. I am also completing a degree in professional practice in education to enhance my knowledge and skill set.

My Availability

I currently have Monday - Wednesday available 8-5. If you needs hours outside of these, please discuss and will see if I can make it work

My Fees

• Childminding from £7.50 per hour

I accept all funding. However, my private rate is £7.50 p/h and will only accept children for more than 5 hours per day and a minimum two sessions a week due to settling in reasons.
