About Me

I have been a registered childminder since 1997. I live in the Gedling area of Nottingham, i have a nvq level 3 in childcare a first aid certificate and safeguarding children. I work before and after school wrap around care from 7.30am 9.00am then 3.00pm until 5.00pm Monday to Wednesday also Thursday and Friday 7.30am until 9.00am term time only. As a childminder I provide a warm and welcoming home based setting in which the children in my care will be safe, secure, happy, content, and part of a large family. Through varied activities the children are encouraged to participate at a level appropriate with their age and stage of development. I have a large enclosed outside area where the children enjoy playing and gardening activities.

Routines for hygiene and behavior are well-established. While the environment is welcoming and supportive, there is room for improvement in seeking feedback from parents and children to further enhance the experiences offered.
