My Summary
Ofsted Registered Childminder
About Me
Hello, my name is Alison. I live in Marlborough with my husband in a warm and welcoming home-from-home setting. We have raised four wonderful children, all of whom are now at/looking at university, and I bring the same love, patience, and care into my work with the children I look after.
We are a pet-friendly household, with cats and chickens that the children adore helping to feed and care for. I believe this adds to the nurturing, family atmosphere where little ones feel truly at home.
We are lucky to live close to forests, wildlife reserves, local play parks, and playgroups, which we regularly explore to give the children plenty of outdoor adventures and opportunities to connect with nature.
