My Summary
About Me
Hello.....my name is Katie and I am offering a childminding service in Poole and the surrounding areas.
At Twyford Childminding your child will be able to spend time in our lovely family home as well as benefit from the same learning and development as they would gain from attending a pre-school or nursery. Your child will enjoy days out from visits to the beach, to days out to a farm, to fun at country parks. We also attend childminding groups with various activities for your child to choose, soft play and even walking to the park for an ice cream, out on a daffodil hunt or growing our own plants. The list is truly endless!!!!
I was a childminder before I had my youngest daughter and reopened in 2016.
I have 2 daughters who live with me aged 17 and 13 years. Both in education full time, locally, and live with our beautiful pugs, Bella and Willow, who are an absolute joy to be around. Having sisters to play with, they are very child friendly dogs and have the sweetest nature.
I am very fortunate to have a lovely house in a quiet part of Canford Heath that is perfect for childminding with its own toy room/ childminding area, room for nap times if needed, kitchen that can cater for high chairs and a large green area at the front of the property and an artificial grassed back garden for outside play. I also have a 7 seater mode of transport with enough room for pushchairs and to cater perfectly for childminding.
My Experience
I am fully DBS checked, police checked, identity checked and health checked as is my 17 year old daughter who lives with me.
On running my childminding business previously, I completed a diploma in home based childcare and medic first aid. I have also completed recent courses in paediatric first aid and safeguarding. I CPD train online weekly.
My Qualifications
On running my childminding business previously, I completed a diploma in home based childcare and medic first aid.

Katie took great care of my 2 children, giving them a wonderful array of activities to take part in. She always gave us very sweet mementos and love of arts and craft that the children had made. They were always happy going there and enjoyed their time in her care. Katie has a lovely warmth and sparkle with the children. She encourages play and development. I would highly recommend Katie for her flexibility, care and professionalism
