My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Jessica, an Ofsted-registered childminder offering a warm, caring and home-from-home environment where children can feel safe, happy and supported. I am based in the Shirley Warren area.
I believe children learn best through play, exploration and everyday experiences, so I provide a mixture of age-appropriate activities, creative play, outdoor time and opportunities for children to develop their confidence, independence and social skills at their own pace.
I aim to create a relaxed and welcoming setting where every child is treated as an individual. I take the time to get to know each child, understand their interests and routines, and work closely with parents to provide consistent and personalised care.
I am trained in Paediatric First Aid, hold a current DBS check and have Public Liability Insurance. I am also fully registered with Ofsted.
I offer childcare for younger children, and wraparound care for children attending Shirley Warren Nursery and Primary School.
My aim is to provide parents with reassurance that their children are being cared for in a safe, nurturing and enjoyable environment, while giving children a place where they can have fun, make friends and feel at home.
My Experience
I have experience working in nurseries and preschools, caring for children at different stages of their early years development. This has given me a good understanding of children's individual needs, routines, development and the importance of providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.
I’m also a mum to two children, being a parent has given me first-hand experience of the different stages of childhood, from the early years through to starting school and becoming more independent.
I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and reassured that their child is happy, safe and well cared for. I take a calm, patient and caring approach and enjoy getting to know each child as an individual, supporting their interests, confidence and development through play and everyday experiences.
My experience in both professional childcare settings and as a parent has helped me develop a caring and practical approach to childcare, while understanding how important good communication with parents is.

My Availability
I am available Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm.
I offer full-day childcare for younger children, as well as school pick-up and wraparound care, depending on the child’s age and individual requirements.
As part of my day, I am on the school run from approximately 8:25am to 9:00am and again from 3:00pm to 3:30pm. I provide school pick-up for children attending Shirley Warren Nursery and Primary School.
I do not provide childcare on bank holidays, during the Christmas holiday break or for two weeks during the summer holidays. These planned breaks allow me to have time with my own family while ensuring I can provide the best care for the children throughout the rest of the year.
