About Me

Early years child care provider who enjoys working with children of all ages, i take pride in seeing the children in my care grow and learn new things every day. I am a mother to 3 - 9yrs, 6yrs and 4yrs..

I have a separate room for my childcare, use of our large garden and also the conservatory giving the kids a full range of spaces to explore different things daily. We are a non smoking home Nd no pets.

I use a daily app which all parents will be signed onto and this will give you daily updates on what your child has gotten upto during the day.

I am committed to building the confidence, personal and emotional development of the children in my setting so I follow EYFS in childrens development to ensure your child is developing within the statutory requirements.

I offer a home away from home service because I am a mother and I understand what it means to leave ypur kids with someone

I have had the opportunity to work with Oby looking after my children and I have to say i truly admire her work ethic and respect for all especially the children, which was very important to me. She was welcoming and my children were comfortable.
