About Me

Hi, I'm Katherine
I am an Ofsted registered Childminder and have over 20 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages as well as being a Mummy to my own 2 children and animal Mummy to our dog, hamster and lizard. If your children love animals they will love spending time here!

My approach to childcare is firm but fair with lots of giggles and fun and I provide a home from home environment for your little ones. I enjoy being outside and as we are lucky enough to be surrounded by large green areas eg Bushy Park, Claremont I like to take advantage of that in all weathers! Who doesn't love a splash in puddles in wellies, spotting mini beasts in the woods and watching the colours of the leaves change through the seasons.

CURRENT VACANCIES
I have a Wednesday/Thursday space available

If I sound like a match for your family do get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.

My Ofsted Inspections

Good

21 March 2023

A recent inspection found that children are thriving in a secure and stimulating environment. The childminder creates a welcoming atmosphere, displaying family photos and focusing on children's interests. There is a strong emphasis on communication, language, and mathematical skills. Parents highly regard the childminder and appreciate the excellent communication. While safeguarding arrangements are effective, less confident children could be further encouraged to engage fully in activities.
