My Summary
About Me
I have been a childminder for 24 years and am a member of PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years). I am the Hoddesdon Childminder Network Co-ordinator, which supports local childminders on a weekly basis. I am committed to improving the service I provide and attend regular training sessions. At my last Ofsted inspection on 13th February 2020 I achieved an 'outstanding' grading for the third time. I am able to offer funding to 3 and 4 year olds and also 2 year olds and from September children from 9months who meet government criteria. I have a large range of age appropriate toys and craft resources, and the children have access to a large garden. I regularly visit local parks, soft play areas, farms and zoos, and will often take a picnic to spend the whole day out. I have 3 children 2 of whom are not currently living at home. I provide a home environment where children can learn and develop through play. I am committed to providing the best service I can and always work in close partnership with all of my parents. I also have a profile on the Hertfordshire directory with more information.

I am not sure where to begin with how amazing Belinda has been with our son. She began with him when he was just a year old and was with him for two years. She is attentive, considered and my son absolutely loves her. Belinda has not only been fantastic with our son but she has also been flexible and understanding with us as parents.

Thanks for the review. I am going to miss my little friend.
Our son has been going to Belinda99 only few months and he loved it. Belinda helped our son gain more confidence. She's absolutely amazing, caring, living childminder. We hope our son can go back to her very soon.
