About Me

I am married to Tim and have three grown up children Ashley, Ben and Callum aged 34, 31 and 22yrs, of which none now live at home. I am available to take children to local play groups and nursery. I attend the local childminders drop in when I can.
I have a large purpose built playroom, with plenty of stimulating toys for the children. Our playroom is a conservatory and the children love being able to see the sky, they love the sound of rain and get very excited if it snows. The garden is large with a big paved area with plenty of outside toys and a large climbing frame. We have plenty of age appropriate toys and games, on wet days we always have sometime in the day when we bring the outdoor toys in. We have a reading area with comfy chairs, varied resources for the children to experiment with mark making, malleable and sensory provision including play dough, water, sand, shaving foam, rice and pasta. We have plenty of resources for art and craft. We have lots of opportunities for role play indoors and outside. I have references from past parents for you to see. I am now Covid vaccinated x3.

My Experience

I worked as a nurse in the children's hospital in Brighton before moving to Little Lever and having my own children.
