About Me
Hi parents & carers, I’m Fay, a qualified early years educator and an Ofsted-registered childminder with a passion for child development, with four children of my own. I know how important it is to create a fun and engaging environment for kids.
With over 6 years of experience in my care, the children are seen as part of the family. My approach celebrates individuality and encourages learning through each child's unique interests, making every day a fun and enjoyable experience. Learning is tailored to challenge each child at their pace. I provide a safe, secure, and happy environment in my own home in which your child can learn and make friends, a nurturing environment where kids can dive into a variety of activities, including:
Messy, creative and role-play
Sensory and construction play
Reading, music, and dance
Physical activities—with a secured enclosed garden and access to play parks, our outings are always packed with active fun and adventure.
I am committed to healthy eating, and that is reflected in my menus.
I have an online system that will guide you through. The platform tracks a child's development with photos and observations, so you can always keep up with your child's learning journey.
As a parent, I know how tricky transitions and settling in can be; that's why I ensure an honest and reliable approach to support you and your child as needed.
I am committed to providing activities that promote the sound mind and physical, social, and emotional development. Also, in the specific areas of learning, Understanding the world and Expressive Art and Design in line with the EYFS
I have all the trainings/certificates required by Ofsted.
My Experience
My 6 years of experience has come from informally caring for children over the years, including volunteering at the playgroup in my church. I am the go-to carer for my extended family and friends.
My experience is centred on strong relationships, flexible working, and seeing children thrive in a home?from?home environment. I have had the joy of working closely with children of all ages and parents to solve any child-related problem together.

Awww 🥰 thank you so much Deborah!
I appreciate you 🙏
She was amazing and very hard working lady she looked after my children, For myself as a working parent, knowing that their are happy and being really well cared for is such a fantastic support. I was anxious about leaving my 3 children for the first time, but she made me feel very at ease, sending regular updates and responding to me when I send her a message. Fay house is perfectly set up for babies and toddlers, with a big space, clean well thought out toy areas, a large garden, everything safe and fun for the children, She's so calm, easy to talk to and has such a brilliant sense of fun with the kids AND with the parents i definitely recommend her services and I will continue of using her childcare setting for my 3 children.
