My Summary
About Me
I live with my partner and have two daughters
I worked in bank for 12 years before starting my family .I live 5 mins away from Chelsfield Station. I offer childcare monday to thursday between 8.0 to 6. The ground floor of my house is used for minding and children have access to the garden too. I have plenty of resources to help children develop and progress. We have regular trips to local parks and nature areas as well as soft play centres, libraries and toddler groups. Trips to penshurst place, tonbridge park and castle, to name but a few are usually undertaken during sunny summer school hols. Please ring to arrange a visit or for further details
My Experience
I have been minding since 1999 and have cared for children aged from 3 months to 12 years. I have cared for children from many different families and backgrounds; from different cultures and have found it very interesting to discover about new festivals and celebrations.
I am happy to do school runs to green street green school and charter house pre-school in The Highway.I am willing to work with other professionals and organisations if your child needs extra support in their development.
My last inspection was graded “good”
