My Summary
About Me
Registered for 20 years to care for children from birth to teen. I have 2 children aged 23 and 30. Setting is large detached house with enclosed private garden.
I work based on the ethos followed by The Curiosity Approach, Hygge and Wanderlust and build my pedagogy and curriculum around them. I provide the children with a full range of activities and experiences both indoors, outdoors and out and about. Children experience wholesome, home-prepared food daily. I provide "wrap-around care" covering before, during and after-school care and holiday care too. I am OFSTED Registerd and a member of PACEY.

My youngest daughter, 23, completed an apprenticeship in Early Years Childcare at a local nursery and now works at a local school for children with additional needs..
