My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Linda Bedson - an Ofsted, Outstanding, registered Childminder. I’m married with 2 grown up children.
Our house is a non smoking household, we live in a spacious semi-detached house in Scholar Green which has a safe, secure enclosed rear garden. Outdoor space includes playhouse, slide, ride on toys, water play and kitchen area.
I have been a childminder for 15 years and at my last 2 inspections (2022 & 2015) Ofsted awarded me an Outstanding judgement in all areas of which all my mindees and myself are very proud of.
I am ideally situated just off the A34, handy for commuters between Stoke on Trent and Congleton or Manchester.
I provide a happy, caring and fun environment with plenty of activities which fit into the Early Years Foundation Stage.
I do not charge extra for food or outings. All costs included in hourly rates for private fees and funded hours.
We enjoy healthy snacks and home made meals. Some of our favourites are home made veggie pasta bake, fish pie, cottage pie, spaghetti with home made tomato sauce and a variety of home made soups and stews with snacks of lovely crunchy fruit and veg. We also save a little room for treats.
I am open from 7.30am to 5.30pm Monday-Thursday
