Hello,
My name is Sian,I am a non smoker and English is my first language. I live in a four bed terraced home with a garden, . For many years I worked as a nanny before starting my journey to becoming an Ofsted registered childminder. I offer a warm and loving home from home setting. I am a smaller setting to ensure each individuals child’s needs at met.
Our days are taken up with lots of music, arts and craft, singing , stories, action rhymes cooking ,planting, and lots more. We have a wide range of equipment including a play kitchen, lots of musical instruments, puzzles, sensory toys also multicultural toys and lots of books. Although we would love to just play all day the children do participate in learning activities such as practising numbers, letter and reading. The older children also enjoy doing flash cards and learning to write their names. We also have ICT equipment that can be used for visual learning and exploring.
At our home/setting we have a back garden which has a small climbing frame, sand and water table, rockers, picnic table, buggies, push along bikes and a trains table. We set up numerous activities outdoor. We provide three healthy home cooked meals a day for the children breakfast, lunch and tea time. These meals all include healthy fruit, vegetables and a variety of different foods to suit each child.
We make regular visits to the park, soft plays and go on nature walks.
Each child has their own progress folder which we add photos and observations to as your child grows and develops.
We have four bedrooms that we are able to put travel cots in so if your child wishes to sleep then there is a safe and comfortable environment for them to do so.

My toddler has been with Sian for the last 9 months and she absoloutley loves her! As soon as we get to her house she runs off and waves goodbye. Its so lovely to know she is so loved and looked after, and feels like she's going to her second home.
Since being with Sian, her speech and vocabulary has expanded immensely, and she is always coming home singing new nursery rhymes and has learnt to count to 10 and sing her ABC's.
My daughter has a peanut allergy which Sian has been so great with, reassuring me and letting me know of everything she has eaten which is always nutritional and varied.
What I love about Sian the most is the love and nurturing she has shown my daughter and treats all of the children as an extention of her own family and I am so incredibly blessed to have found someone so special.

I used Sian as a childminder for my now 4 and 2 year old before them starting pre school and primary school.
They absolutely LOVED going to her house. Would always have fun doing arts and crafts and role play.
My youngest had a dairy allergy which as a mum always made me worried when not being around but sian listened to my worries and ensured she would be safe which she was. She wrote me a good diary for everything she ate if it was made by her and provided dairy free snacks.
She helped toilet train my now 4 year old too. Which set her up for big school.
The journals were great to keep up with their journey whilst with her also. Seeing the photos of how they had grown.
We miss you! Thankyou for everything.
