About Me

I am a childminder based in Southport, offering a stimulating, nurturing and safe environment, where babies and young children feel safe, seen and excited to learn.

Our days will mix lots of outdoor time, early literacy, hands-on play and music movement that supports early learning and development. I will provide freshly prepared home-cooked, nutritious meals, personalised learning journeys and consistent routines that help children thrive.

I hope families will choose me for my calm, cosy setting and our big outdoor adventure space!

My Experience

I have a number of years experience raising my own little boy which has allowed me to have well established routines and create nutrition-guided menus that cater for various allergies. I have additional experience in working with nieces and nephews of various ages and am able to support children in their journey to big school!

I cater for ages 6 months to 8 years and my hours will be Mon - Fri 7.30am - 6.00pm. I have early drop-off and late pick up options available and will also be available for babysitting where needed.

I live central to Southport giving us the opportunity of many trips out where possible to the town centre with all its various activities, the seafront, local soft play, museums and libraries!

I have completed extended training in the EYFS and all my qualifications are listed below.
