About Me

OFSTED have assessed me as an OUTSTANDING registered childminder. I am based at my home in Lower Darwen. My own child is 15, which gives me the opportunity to work with other children, enabling their learning and development journeys too. My home includes plenty of indoor and outdoor space in which to play and learn. A nursery style setting with a more homely and flexible approach. I am also currently studying a level 4 qualification in Early Years Music.

My Experience

I have always enjoyed encouraging children to discover the world and their own abilities, enabling and encouraging them at their own individual pace. This is my seventh year as an Ofsted Registered Childminder.
