My Summary

My Experience

As a parent of three children, I have many years of hands on experience caring for and supporting children through all stages of their early development. This has given me a strong understanding of children’s individual needs, routines and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.

My family has given me personal experience of supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), helping me to develop patience, understanding, flexibility and a child centred approach. I recognise that every child is unique and I am committed to adapting my care to help each child feel valued, included and secure to thrive everyday.

Alongside my personal experiences I have completed the required childminder training and I am committed to continuing my professional development to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. I look forward to building strong relationships with families and supporting every child’s learning, development and well being in a warm home from home environment.

My Availability

I provide childcare all year round, excluding bank holidays and my own annual leave, which will always be communicated well in advance.

My standard opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm.
However, I completely understand that every family’s needs are different, so I may be able to accommodate care outside of these hours by prior arrangement.
Any childcare provided outside of my standard opening hours would be charged at a slightly additional rate.

I offer a flexible, nurturing home from environment and welcome both funded & non funded children.
Please don’t hesitate to discuss your requirements and I will try my best to accommodate your family’s needs.

My Fees

• Childminding from £7.00 per hour

My fee’s are charged at £7.00 per hour for all non-funded childcare hours.

I welcome both funded & non-funded children and offer funded childcare places where eligible.

All fees need to be paid in advance for the month required.

To help make things easier for families, I will provide nappies, wipes, breakfast, lunch & snacks at no additional cost.

From time to time, we may enjoy outings or extra special experiences. For the more expensive trips, I may ask parents if they would like to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost. Any contribution is completely optional and no child will ever be excluded from an activity if a contribution is not made.
