About Me

I am an Ofsted registered childminder and a mum to my 3 sons. I started childminding in 2008 when my eldest son was 14 months old so that I could be with him everyday. I love my job and can't imagine going back to my old job even when my sons are older. I have a cat, 2 dogs and a royal python, who get a lot of attention from the children I childmind and are used to it!

My Experience

I have been Childminding since June 2008 and in that time I have cared for children ranging from 6 months upto 11 years. I enjoy attending toddler groups with the children, the library and local parks as well as craft and cooking activities at home. I also babysit regularly and have cared for babies as young as 4 months in this role. I have done a placement at a local nursery with children from 3 to 5, so experience of children in a larger setting.

My Qualifications

I have recently completed a Cache level 5 early years lead practitioner qualification. I am also qualified in areas required to be a registered childminder, which are Paediatric first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding children. I also regularly attend training courses to improve my care such as music and movement, creative art workshop and going global.

My Availability

I am available Monday to Friday 7.30am-6pm, although other hours can be arranged if required. I currently have no spaces for under 5's and spaces every day except thursday for children 5-14. I drop off and collect from Forest Academy and have done to Forest nursery and Brandon Preschool Playgroup.
