My Experience

Background
Charlene Rowe (Childminder):
I have over 10 years of experience working with children, young adults, and the elderly. I am a caring and nurturing individual with a very passionate interest in childcare and early years development. I have studied health and social care at the University of Bedfordshire and also have certificates in childcare, child education, outdoor play, child neglect awareness and autism awareness, and many more.
I have worked various settings, from being a nursery assistant to a school meal supervisory assistant to a classroom assistant. With the immense experience gained over the years, this prompted me to open my own home nursery.


Lorna Rowe (Childminding Assistant):
I am a retired nurse with thirty years plus years experience and immense education built in working from various hospitals. I have also gained extensive experience volunteering and working in local primary schools. With the experience I gained over the years, it prompted me to pursue a career in childminding and working together with my daughter in providing home-based childcare.
