About Me
* Ofsted Registered Childminder *
Thank you for looking at my profile.
I've been childminding for over 18 years now. I have 3 adult children, I'm also a grandmother to a beautiful little girl.
Family is the most important thing to me. Spending quality time together at every opportunity.
My home:
Is equipped for all ages.
I have a downstairs toilet/sink area (water temperature capped) which includes a fitted baby changing unit, chill out lounge area, conservatory converted to a playroom and a large, safe enclosed garden with many toys and games.
Location:
I am located in South Yardley, B26 area easily accessible for all public transport.
10 minutes walk from local Primary School - Gilbertstone. To which I offer collection/drop off.
I find working as a Childminder a very rewarding and privileged profession and hope to be doing it for many years to come.
Wrap around care offered for GILBERTSTONE PRIMARY SCHOOL. Ofsted reports available on Ofsted website.
Feel free to message me any enquiries.
