About Me
Hi, I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder. I work from my own home in Shirley. Offering a warm, friendly and nurturing environment.
My Experience
I have had 16 years of working with early years. Initially as a Movement Instructor, focusing on gross motor, fine motor and ball skills. Recently I worked as co-owner of a Montessori based childminding setting. Now, branching out on my own, in my home based setting, where your child will be nurtured and cared for; by going for walks in the woods, taken to play groups, visits to the library, bus journeys, trips out in the community and Spanish classes. Your child will be offered a time to learn, laugh, play. To be curious about the environment around them, as well as encouraging independence, learning practical life skills, and learning through natural consequence. They will be encouraged through positive reinforcement and role modelling good behaviour.
