About Me

I am a married mother of two boys aged 9 and 12. I have worked full time in education for the last 16 years which I have loved but it has prevented me from attending school events for my children. I have often thought about transitioning to become a childminder but this is something that needs time and money to establish. An opportunity came about for me to do this and also utilise my Senior Leadership Qualification - Childminding and setting up my own childcare business - which I am embracing and am very excited about.

My Experience

I have taught in education for the last 16 years from nursery through to and including Key Stage 4. Prior to this I worked in the life and pensions industry and worked my way up through customer services to project manager.

During my teaching career in Primary I have been Head of Music, Head of Geography and Head of PSHE. I have also won a number awards for my setting which has included the promotion of children's rights and for anti-bullying.

During my teaching career in Secondary I have been a Head of Year for Year 7 and 8 and a maths teacher for all year groups. I have also had the opportunity to stand in as SENDco.

My Qualifications

2.1 BA Hons Degree in Education
Senior Leadership Qualification
Relevant Childminding Qualifications including Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding

My Availability

Initially my hours will be 8am to 6pm but I can be flexible around this.
My intention is to accept funded hours and those who access Tax Free Childcare.

My Fees

  • Childminding from £6.50 per hour

My fees are £6.50 per hour with an optional, but small contribution on top for snacks/meals and toddler groups. I also provide wrap around care for a reduced fee.

During school holidays I am able to provide care for additional children at a reduced rate, with a small additional contribution is snacks and meals are required.

My Local Schools

  • I provide drop offs and pick ups at Woodland View Primary School

Happy recommend Kim

5 stars

We are very pleased to be working with Kim. My son has learned several new things in a short time with her, which has been lovely to see.

Kim is very proactive, makes great suggestions, and is always easy and pleasant to communicate with. The playroom is clean, welcoming, and well organised, and Kim provides thoughtful and engaging activities for the children.

I would happily recommend Kim to anyone looking for a childminder in the Grange Park area.

As a friend, Kim has taken care of our children over the past 12 years . She has provided a nurturing, safe and engaging environment, supporting our children's learning and development through a range of age-appropriate activities and outdoor play. I would 100% recommend her to care for your children, you couldn't ask for a nicer, more accommodating and caring person than Kim!
