My Summary
Cabin Cubs Childminding
About Me
I am a new Ofsted registered childminder with three grown-up children of my own. I have worked in childcare and in schools for over 25 years.
I decided to become a childminder and work from home so I can provide a home-from-home environment where children can thrive through learning, play, and outdoor activities. We are a warm and nurturing home, with a cabin built especially for your little ones to explore and develop their milestones.
My Experience
I have worked in a nursery since leaving school, then in children’s holiday clubs, and for a babysitting agency. For the past 11 years, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant in a local school.
I have completed training in Early Years and Childcare Level 3, as well as speech and language, phonics, attachment, and SH.R.E.C

As ex-childminder myself, who is now a teacher, I was extremely impressed with the learning environment that Dawn has created at Cabin Cubs. She has used her knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum to create a stimulating and creative space for little learners and her cosy, homely setting matches her ethos. Dawn has given careful consideration to all aspects of her business including safeguarding, nutrition, child development and education. I would feel extremely confident placing my child in her care.

I know this childminder well and have had the opportunity to visit her childcare environment. I was extremely impressed by the level of thought, care, and attention to detail that has gone into creating a warm, safe and stimulating space for children.
Every aspect of the setup has clearly been carefully planned, from the engaging learning areas to the high standards of cleanliness and organisation. It is evident that she is passionate about providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive, explore and develop with confidence. The resources available are varied and purposeful, supporting both structured learning and imaginative play.
Beyond the physical environment, her professional approach, genuine care for children’s wellbeing and commitment to delivering high-quality childcare truly stand out. I have no doubt that families who choose her setting will feel reassured knowing their children are in capable, thoughtful and dedicated hands.
I would confidently recommend her to any parent seeking a caring and well-prepared childminding service.
