My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered childminder, rated Good, with over 15 years experience, looking after children ranging in age from birth to 12.
Comments in my recent Ofsted inspection report include:
‘Children are happy and have warm, caring relationships with the childminder.’
‘The childminder is a positive role model for the children. She is extremely responsive, sensitive and respectful, which helps to promote children's self-esteem and emotional well-being extremely well.’
‘Children are cared for in a safe and secure environment.’
I am based in a large, secure house with public transport links to Bromley, Grove Park, Beckenham and Bellingham stations. I have a private drive for easy drop offs and plenty of on-street parking with no restrictions.
I offer flexible care tailored to you and your child's needs, full, part time, ad hoc hours or term time only.
While in my care your children will have ready access to interactive toys, books and musical instruments which I can play to the children as well as allowing them to explore.
I provide nutritious, home cooked food.
I have a well- equipped and secure outdoor play area with a sandpit, water play, mud kitchen, small climbing frame and slide, bikes and more. I encourage children in my care to enjoy and respect nature and incorporate aspects of Forest School into my practice.
Regular trips out include visits music classes, playgroups, soft play, local museums and more, tailored to your child’s needs and preferences,
I try, where possible, to incorporate activities that parents suggest.
My Experience
I have over 15 years experience working with children as a nanny and childminder and previous experience in nursing.

Katy looked after our daughter with special needs for about a year, and we could not have been more happy with the care she provided. She takes the children to a range of activities, and provides a safe and loving environment for the children she looks after. From the minute my daughter was there, she was immediately comfortable and at home, and I knew that this was the right environment for her. Katy has been amazing- she has welcomed other professionals into her home to see my daughter, as well as completing physiotherapy exercises with my daughter.
Communication has always been excellent, and Katy is extremely flexible and works with you as a family.
We will be very sad to leave the area, and no longer have Katy looking after our daughter - we wish we could take her with us!
Highly, highly recommended.
