Gill
Childminder in Lancaster
My Summary
About Me
My name is Gill, I’m a mum of two, my daughter is 6yrs and my son is 3yrs old. I live in Lancaster and have always lived in the area. We also have a little old dog named Betsy, who’s very friendly. We enjoy going on walks, doing arts & crafts and visiting local playgroups, parks and farms.
I became a childminder because I love spending time with children and wanted a job that’s rewarding and fits in with my life.
My setting is called Nuzzle & Nap Childminding and it is based in the Hala area of Lancaster.
I offer a safe, nurturing home-from-home environment for babies and toddlers from 3 months- under 3 years old. (until they are approaching their third birthday). Families will need to make alternative arrangements by the end of the term after their child turns 3 years old.
If I am caring for a younger sibling, I may be able to offer before and after pre-school care for older siblings who move on to Moorside Pre-School after my setting including drop-offs and collections, subject to availability.
•Activities planned around the EYFS
•Outdoor play, local outings, and exploration
Healthy snacks.
•A strong focus on communication, independence, and emotional wellbeing
