About Me

IS ANYONE LOOKING FOR HOLIDAY COVER..I ALSO RUN A HOLIDAY CLUB FOR 5+ YEARS..If you need before and after school care for your child who attends Courtwood primary school or Forestdale primary school please contact me..I run it from my comfortable 3 bed house 2 minutes away from Courtwood primary school and Forestdale primary school.
My house is ofsted registered and I'm fully qualified..
We will be doing lots of activities to keep busy aswell as home cooked food everyday.

I am a caring, loving, responsible, adventurous and supporting childminder
/nanny.
I have two children of my own, Joe 14 and Libby 12 . I live on Featherbed lane ( Croydon) near to Courtwood School and aim to provide a calm, stimulating and fun setting for the children I care for.

My Experience

When I was a teenager I assisted my mother at her Beaver Colony, undertook work experience at a Council Nursery and during one of my holidays assisted in a special needs school.
Since leaving school I have worked with children for 15 years. Whilst studying for my NVQ2 & 3 I worked as a mother's help for 1 year, which led me into nannying (sole charge) for 2 children aged 10 months and 5 years Unfortunately the family moved away from the area. In my next position I worked sole charge for 3 children aged 2, 3, 5, for 9 years. During this time I had my 2 children and was able to take them to work with me. When their oldest child reached 16 the family felt they could no longer justify employing a nanny but we still keep in touch and are all close friends.
It was at this stage that I decided to go into childminding and completed the necessary courses, etc.
The past few years I have been successfully combining childminding and nannying. Two days childminding for one family and 3 days nannying for another.
References from all my employers can be provided.
Visits are encouraged.

Becca is lovely and a fantastic childminder to my son, who is so happy in her care and he gets to play with her two wonderful kids - I'm so glad I found her!

Rebecca is currently our childminder and looks after our boy of 4 and little girl of 2. We really cannot recommend her highly enough! She is wonderful with the children, very caring and does a variety of activities with them. She has been very flexible in terms of the hours she works which has made our busy working lives much easier. We would recommend her to any family looking for a childminder/nanny.
