About Me

I am an ofsted registered childminder and I live with my daughters. I have years of childcare experience having worked as a self-employed childminder for over 19 years in total and also working as a Level 3 Practitioner at a local nursery. I am kind hearted, caring, compassionate, fun, and appreciate every child for who they are. I am knowledgeable in working to the EYFS and Ofsted standards and have experience in caring for children up to the age of 19.

I love working with children and have always built up a great rapport with both the children in my care and their parents/carers.

I have experience working with children with Aspergers and more complex Autism.

Limited spaces are available for full or part time care and school pick ups and drop offs to Summerfields Academy in Royston. I can do 1215pm nursery drop off to Parkside. Pick ups possibly from Meadstead and St John's.

I can also offer 9 months, 2 year and 3&4year Government funded places through the local authority for 15hours and 30hours.

Holiday club is available during most school holidays providing activities and meals.

Please contact me now to reserve your child's space.

Good
11 July 2023
Children thrive in a welcoming and stimulating environment that fosters learning and independence. The atmosphere promotes curiosity and confidence, with children feeling safe and valued. Strong relationships with parents ensure consistent care. While the overall quality of education is good, there is room for improvement in selecting age-appropriate resources for younger children. The childcare provider effectively supports children's communication, language development, and personal growth.
