My Summary
About Me
** No Availability expected until September 2026**
Hi,
My name is Vicky.
I'm a mum to two boys and three step daughters.
I live with my husband (Aaron), two sons (Edward & Arthur) and labrador dog (Sparky).
I have always had a passion for working with children and after having my first son it was the perfect time to get into my dream job.
Please note I have no availability at present.
My Experience
**no availability at present**
After undergoing all the relevant childminding training. I opened Little Caterpillars in October 2016.
Prior to having my son I had completed one year of teacher training in primary education.
I was also a Beaver scout leader for a local Scout group but left just before I had my first son.
I continue to update my training to ensure I offer the best care for the children and families I look after.
Graded Outstanding August 2024
