About Me

I am Ofsted registered with over 30 years experience in childcare, since ive qualified ive been a private nanny, worked overseas, and baeen a nursery Manager, providing the best care and education. Once i had my own children it was time to start my own buisness and become a childminder. I provide a home from Home environment and we have regular day trips to the library, soft play, parks and join in with the local music class. When we are at home the children can explore there surroundings and choose the toys they would like to play with, from Toy Cars, building towers with blocks, making food in the toy kitchen as well as lots of Arts and Crafts. I have always provided a fun space for each child to thrive and make friends and get them school ready.

A warm and welcoming environment awaits children at this childcare setting. The childminder offers a wide range of activities and experiences, with a strong focus on developing communication skills. Children enjoy outdoor experiences and social interactions. While the overall care is good, there is room for improvement in planning next steps more precisely and allowing children more time for independent exploration. Parents appreciate the progress their children have made.
