My Summary

My Experience

I have been childminding since 2015, proudly achieving three “Good” ratings from Ofsted.
Alongside my childminding career, I have also gained valuable experience working in reception classes and nursery settings, where I completed my Level 2 Certificate in Childcare and Education.
As a mum of two, I bring over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for children from birth through to the teenage years, combined with a decade of professional childcare and early years experience. This blend of personal and professional knowledge helps me provide a nurturing, understanding, and well-balanced approach to supporting every child’s development.

My Fees

• Childminding from £5.50 per hour

My fees are £5.50 per hour, per child.

This rate includes all snacks, drinks, attendance at groups, and small local outings, providing great value and a variety of enriching experiences for every child.
Funding and Support:
I am registered to accept both Government Funding (from 9 months onwards) and Tax-Free Childcare. Please feel free to ask if you’d like help understanding how these schemes can be used towards your childcare costs.

Nursery/Preschool Drop-Offs:
If I take your child to nursery or preschool, the full hourly fee will still apply while they are there, as your child’s place within my setting remains reserved.

Holidays and Closures:
I take up to 4 weeks of holiday per year, and no fees are charged during my planned closures.
If I or my own children become unwell with a contagious illness and I need to close, no fees will be due.
If your family takes holiday while my setting remains open, full fees will still apply to retain your child’s place.
If your child is unwell (including contagious illness) and unable to attend, full fees are still payable, as the setting remains open.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about fees, funding, or availability — I’ll be happy to help.
