My Summary
About Me
This is a family home, with good healthy food and a happy environment.
I welcome the opportunity to look after your children as if they were my own and will do lots of fabulous activities to keep your little ones learning and stimulated.
As a parent myself I understand the importance of knowing your child is being well looked after and I will take them on fun trips out.
I support breast feeding and will be happy to help you continue this if you require.
I look forward to the good times ahead and I am very proud that you have considered me to take care of your children.
I have had load of experience working with people with special needs. I ran a Scout Group, Venture Group and Brownie Pack.
I have two of my own children and love them to bits. I love the outdoors, walking and gardening.
I grow my own vegetables and fruit. My passion is finding fun things to do with the kids.
I always have a new idea to try out, whether it be making giant bubbles or baking, there is always something new and creative to do.(I add learning into these activities, but don't tell the kids)
Please come and have a look at my setting as it's a fun environment and I have loads to offer.

Susan has looked after my boys on many occasions. I find Susan to be very professional, friendly and most of all my boys love spending time with her. She is very reliable and has always accommodated my child care needs. I have no problem in recommending friendly faces (Susan) she really is fantastic - thanks Susan :)
