My Summary
About Me
I offer a warm, nurturing childminding service shaped by my background as an Occupational Therapist and my experience supporting children with a wide range of needs. My home provides a calm, welcoming environment where children can play, learn, and grow at their own pace.
My approach is development?focused and child?centred. I use play, everyday routines, and gentle structure to help children build confidence, independence, and practical skills. With experience in equipment, adaptations, and inclusive practice, I ensure that every child — including those with additional needs — can participate fully and feel supported.
Children in my care enjoy a balance of creative activities, sensory play, outdoor time, and quiet moments, all designed to support their wellbeing and natural curiosity. I work closely with parents, offering clear communication and a collaborative approach so we can support each child’s progress together.
My aim is to create a safe, caring space where children feel seen, valued, and free to flourish.
My Experience
I am an experienced Occupational Therapist with a background in supporting children’s development, daily living skills, and participation in home and community settings. I have worked with children of different ages and abilities, including those who benefit from equipment, adaptations, or additional developmental support. My approach is calm, inclusive, and child?centred, shaped by training in trauma?informed care and holistic wellbeing. This experience enables me to provide thoughtful, development?focused childcare where every child feels safe, supported, and able to thrive.
My Qualifications
I am a qualified Occupational Therapist with professional experience supporting children’s development, daily living skills, and participation in home and community environments. My training includes assessment of children’s needs, safe use of equipment, and implementation of adaptations to promote independence and inclusion.
I have completed additional training in trauma?informed practice, holistic wellbeing, and child?centred support, which informs my approach to creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment. I am experienced in working with children with a range of abilities and can provide tailored strategies to support their physical, emotional, and social development.
My background enables me to offer high?quality, evidence?informed care that aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) principles, with a strong focus on safety, wellbeing, and inclusive practice.
