About Me
Hello, my name is Katherine. I am OFSTED registered childminder based in Southminster, offering a nurturing, flexible, and hands-on learning environment where children can thrive.
About My Childcare
My home has a strong focus on outdoor and experimental learning. We regularly visit our three local allotments, where the children enjoy growing fruit and vegetables and learning where food comes from. Cooking is a big part of our routine too — we often make snacks and bread from scratch, and the children love getting involved.
Experienced & Inclusive Care
I am highly experienced in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and additional medical needs. I have extensive practical experience, patience, and understanding, which allows me to confidently support children with a wide range of individual needs.
Qualifications & Safety
I have completed the Designated lead safeguarding training courses. I hold OFSTED approved childminding qualifications, EYFS training, Food Hygiene Level 2, and have recently attended a full Paediatric First Aid course, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety.
I pride myself on offering a calm, inclusive, and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. I would love to welcome your child into my setting.
My Experience
As a childminder, one of the biggest responsibilities is keeping the children in my care safe — and that means being fully prepared for both everyday situations and medical emergencies.
I have completed a full Paediatric First Aid course, along with additional specialist medical training to ensure I can confidently support children with a wide range of needs.
My additional training includes:
• Epilepsy and seizure awareness
• Autism awareness
• Nebulisers and respiratory care
• NG and PEG feeding
• Moving and handling
• Safe medication administration
• Infection prevention and control
• Life support training
• Choking response
• Anaphylaxis awareness and response
This training allows me to provide a safe, calm, and knowledgeable environment, and to respond quickly and appropriately if a child ever needs medical support.
I believe parents deserve complete peace of mind when leaving their child in someone else’s care, and I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and ongoing learning.
All certificates are available to view on request.

Kids go out every day!
They adore Katherine and get excited about going to her.
My little boy is 2 1/2 and possibly neurodivergent and he has come on leaps and bounds since being here.
My daughter is 1 and is also doing amazing with her.
