My Summary
About Me
I have been a registered childminder for 15 years. I live with my 18 year old son who is DBS checked as am I. I aim to provide a warm, loving environment in which children can develop confidence, make friends and learn new skills. I have a musical background and incorporate this with a daily song /music time with instruments. I believe in good routine so we also spend time outdoors, in the garden or local parks, so children can expend their energy and explore nature. We have tidy up time before meals and before the end of the day, and story time after lunch, although we read stories throughout the day as well! I prepare a variety of freshly cooked food and fruit for snacks. I give written or feedback in person to parents after every session, so we can work together to ensure that your child thrives.

Sophie looked after both my children from babies until they started school nursery and I feel so lucky we found her! She works so hard to create a nurturing and safe environment in her home while also heading out to explore the local parks and playgrounds regularly. She is actively involved with the children in her care, creating opportunities to play. Both my children were very happy with her. My daughter especially loved the singing and music sessions. And Sophie supported my son's passion for trains by finding good trainspotting places!
Communication was great. She would always feed back at collection time and share photos of their day. She is calm and warm in her approach while also holding firm boundaries for safety. I truly do recommend her wholeheartedly.

Sophie has been looking after my son for the past three years, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She is caring, patient, and incredibly reliable. From day one, she made my son feel comfortable and happy, he absolutely loves spending time with her.
Sophie goes above and beyond to create a nurturing, fun, and safe environment. She plans lovely activities that keep the children engaged and learning, and she’s always great at communicating about their day. She’s also very approachable and flexible, which has been such a help for our family.
I’m so grateful for everything Sophie has done for us. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with children
