About Me

I have been an Ofsted registered childminder for over 16 years now and managed to retain my grade of 'OUTSTANDING' at my last inspection. From September 2026, I will have a space available for 3 days a week - Monday to Wednesday (term time only). Government funding is available.

I lead a child centerd approach and offer a warm, safe, and family friendly environment where we do many fun packed activities at home, as well as out and about, visiting playgroups, libraries, and local parks. We also make various trips to farms and museums etc. My aim is, that through play, the children will feel happy, comfortable and secure enabling them to fulfil their potential.

I live in between Honor Oak Park/Crofton Park train stations, in a detached house with a good sized garden which is well equip for plenty of outdoor play. I also have a wide variety of toys and resources to suit all age groups.

I look after babies and children up to 3 years old.

I am an experienced mum, living in a non-smoking household. I am happily married to Steve and we have two lovely sons, 20 & 22 years old.

We do have a friendly dog called Bella (who is an Australian miniature Labradoodle). Bella is 8 years old, has a great temperament and is a lovely addition to my setting, as the kids love her. She is hypoallergenic and none shedding.

I have a full clean driver’s license.

I work 3 days a week (Monday to Wednesday) TERM-TIME ONLY.
