About Me
**TERM TIME ONLY SPACES - SEPT 2026**
I am an experienced Outstanding Ofsted Registered Childminder providing home from home childcare dedicated for Early Years children, aged from 0-5 years.
As a parent, when you chose my setting for your child, you can be assured that your child is safe, having fun, learning and developing through play and will be nurtured and supported to develop their unique character and independent skills.
All children in my care develop in partnership with their family, in a caring environment and at their own unique pace.
We learn whilst we have fun. I adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage, so our play is both child initiated and adult led. We love to have adventures outside and in our local community.
