My Summary
About Me
Under 5's space available October 2025 Monday & Tuesday only 8-2.30pm.
My name is Vicky Harrison I am a registered child minder based in hallglen falkirk Laurieston end, located close Redding. I have two children, my son Robert is 23 and my daughter Kezia is 18 both work full time. My partner Alan is fully PVG checked and registered on my certificate so is able to help with the children when he is home. He works for kerry foods and works shifts so not always here.
We have our family pets Minnie and Phoebe, 2 dogs sisters. Petra passed a couple of years ago but had puppies in February 2013, This was a fabulous experience for me, my family and all the children in my care. we ended up keeping 2 of her pups which sounds crazy but they are very good with the kids and the kids love to play with them after watching them grow since birth, this has been a very enjoyable learning experience for everybody and all my families have enjoyed their children being part of this.The dogs are upstairs most of the time, although the children have plenty of time to interact with them they also have their own quiet place so both pups and children can have their own time.
I previously worked for Scottish Gas in the call centre for eight years.
I have an interest in child minding as my eldest child went to a child minder when I was working. He developed so well from the combined help from both the child minder and me that I would like to offer other families the same support now I have my second child.
I know from personal experience how important it is to find the right childcare for your child, I also feel building up relationships with parents/guardians is vital for a good child minder. I aim to work in partnership with children's families, to ensure that the care your child receives is the best possible care, tailored to their needs, and to ensure continuity of care from your home to mine.
My Experience
I have had vast experience with children over the years mainly with my own but previously I completed a National Certificate in Child Care & Education, and on occasions I provided cover at my daughter’s nursery if they are short and need parent helpers, all the children know me and I get on well with them all.
I have worked in a few nurseries over the years.

I would highly recommend Vicky. My son can be quite shy and take a while to trust people. However it was only a matter of weeks when he would be asking to go to Vicky's, which was unheard of for him to actually ask for other people. We have had a rollercoaster journey with potty training, something which Vicky has also worked hard with us and my son, and helping build my sons confidence. My son also built good relationships with other children in Vicky's care.
I enjoy the regular updates in the private facebook group. My son has come on leaps and bounds in Vicky's care, through a variety of different activities in her care.
