About Me

I was born in 1977 and have worked with children all of my working life. I have three children. Two adult sons and a daughter.
I am a very active childminder and belive that children can benifit alot from being outside in the fresh air. We do music and movement everyday and spent time outside planting and enjoying watching the changing seasons.
I work alongside another childminder(who is also a member of my family) to enable the children to take part in activities and socialise with other children a little older or younger than them. This helps their social skills and enables them to build confidence.
We practice routine such as story and learning time. Activities are devised based on children’s likes and developmental skills. We have topics, based on books, termly, such as ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ and ‘Owl Babies’
We have a daily ‘education time’ where we have a story, practice counting and learn the days of the week. The children take part in daily activities such as arts and crafts, including painting and gluing. We learn the Phonics and practise writing our names before we start school meaning that children are given a helping hand with an insight before starting school.
Children have opportunities to access a wide range of toys and activities.

My Experience

I have always enjoyed working with children, and coming from a family of five,I always took an active roll in 'babysitting'! I began working in Day nursery's with age ranging 6 weeks - 4 years, a special care baby unit and working for the Early Years Service in Germany, where I Regulated and Inspected the childcare settings. I decided to childmind on returning to England to be able to continue to care for my young family and do a job that I love. I have been childminding for over 15 years, and my last inspection with Ofsted graded me with 'Good’ and an area of ‘Outstanding’ for behavior.
References available apon request.
I have completed a Level 4 qualification and updated First AID and Safeguarding qualification including The Prevent Duty.
I have completed a Level 3 qualification in Special Needs and a Level 2 in Understanding Autism, and Adverse Childhood experiences, including Child Mental Health.I am continually updating my professional development, ensuring that I can provide the most up to date legislation and good quality childcare.
I record children’s daily activity’s via an online program and communicate via WhatsApp. This program records children’s development and next steps.

My Fees

  • Childminding from £4.50 per hour

Due to the introduction of the Working Parents funding, I work fees out over a year and divide the amount by 12. This ensures that the non funded periods are not a big rise and the same is paid every month.

My Local Schools

This childminder has not yet informed us whether or not they provide any drop off or pick up services at local schools.
