My Summary
About Me
Let me tell you a little about my career, my family and me.
I'm an experienced early years provider, having worked full time as a childminder since 2007.
I have three young children, 2 small dogs and 2 outdoor friendly cats.
We all love a busy, happy home and welcome your child ( a yourselves) with open arms.
I have a 7 seater car with isofix seats for all ages. The car is insured for business use, and I hold a clean driving license.
Our home is fully child friendly and equipped with a array of toys suitable for all ages, when we are at home the children enjoy activities such as messy play, singing, interactive music sessions, cooking, crafting, role play, outdoor play in my garden.
We regularly visit farm,zoo, sensory groups, soft play areas, and the beach.
Everyday is a learning day for as all and I structure our play on the early years foundation stages and utilise all 7 areas of learning to ensure each childs individual learning needs are met.
I use the " babys days" software which allowed me share the children achievements and goals.
Its confidential system and a great two way communication tool between my setting and your home.
I'm a quality assured childminder this enables me to offer 15 and 30 hours a week funded childcare places for 3-4 year old. I can also offer 2 year old funded places for children that fit this criteria.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, or alternatively arrange to come and visit us

It's always hard to leave your children with someone you don't know. However, when we met Hayley we immediately felt at ease & were reassured that our daughter would be looked after.
Just over a year since starting our daughter joined Hayley, we couldn't be happier. Our daughter gets very excited when she sees us pulling up at Hayleys & if she could jump out of my arms into Hayleys, I think she would!
Hayley is always accommodating to me & my shift, she will do her best to add days & move them around as my shifts change.

Every morning my son runs to hug Hayley, he couldn't be happier to spend the day with her! The first time he met her, he ran off to play (something he would never normally do), it made me so happy to know he was instantly comfortable in her home. She is understanding, kind with a great family and gives my son so much love and care. He enjoys every outing, chatting with the animals in her house and spending time with the other children. Hayley is so thoughtful keeping me updated on his progress and ensures I am happy even when he is not feeling 100%. I cannot praise her enough!

My child joined Hayley and comes home so happy, we were so nervous about leaving him as we both work and as parents it’s the hardest thing to do and trust someone else with your child.
Hayley keeps us updated, if we have any worries even the smallest thing she will be there to support.
Hayley has become more like family than just our child minder.
Since starting our child is learning new skills and has remained his bonny happy self so we know he definitely made the right choice.

Hayley is absolutely lovely! My daughter & my family absolutely love her. At first I was very skeptical about using a childminder because being a new mum you have no idea what’s best or how things would work. Hayley welcomed us into her home with open arms, friendly & safe environment that I felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter there. Every-time I drop her off she gets excited and shakes her legs when she sees Hayley.
Hand on heart I can trust Hayley with my daughter and I would recommend her to anyone! Can’t thank her enough for all she does with Luna and for making the experience easy going and fun for the both of us.

Hayley has cared for my daughter for the last 6 years. My daughter bonded easily and always enjoyed her time with Hayley.
When I had my youngest Hayley stepped up to the mark again and took great care of her from around 10 months old until recently when she’s now moved away.
Both my girls loved there time with Hayley visiting various groups and doing various activities as well as doing simple things like visits to the park.
Both girls will miss Hayley and her family and wish her well with her future 😃

Hayley Provides excellent care in a relaxed, safe, friendly family environment.
My little boy absolutely loved being with her, which is quite an achievement on her part as he doesnt settle very well at all when im not with him. She somehow put him at ease from the very first moment they met, which was amazing to see. He never got upset at being left in her care when I went to work, which really made life so much easier for me emotionally.
My little boy has additional health needs, Hayley Readily took them on board right, adapting the environment for his needs. She went out of her way to learn more about his condition and how she could optimise his experiences while in her care.
It clear that Hayley loves her work. She provided a home from home for my little boy and i highly recommend her.

When the childcare with my previous childminder came to an unexpected end after I had to pull my children out due to a safeguarding issue.
I was extremely nervous about choosing a childminder again
Hayley immediately offered to step in,even gave up her spare time so that I could meet her on a Saturday. Hayley was very warming.
My Daughter was very upset and nervous after all that had happened and did not seem herself, also having a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder means I have to make sure I picked the setting very carefully.
Hayley was extremely attentive towards Dylan and Ellesha making sure that they were happy and felt at home, nothing was too much for her, she asked them about their favorite games etc. She brought some lego for Dylan and even cooked favorite meals, just so they would feel at home.
Every day after school she took them to the park and In the holidays she took them on trips every day whether it was the park, indoor play areas.
My children absolutely love being with Hayley, she does so much with the children
I also suffer from a back bad and driving can be difficult, Hayley even offered to drop the children home for me on occasion just to help me out, this really shows how caring Hayley is.
Hayley is also extremely professional and everything was kept up to date on baby days and I was invoiced every week which really suited me. She also spoke to me in private about anything that needed discussing
Dylan's Autism means he is prone to meltdowns and Hayley handled Dylan extremely well, making sure he kept calm and talked him down, I felt very secure and happy leaving my Son in her care.
After Ellesha's self esteem was low from the last setting. Hayley worked very hard to make Ellesha feel happy and secure and bring her out of her shell which she did.
She really works hard to meet every child's different needs and she does this with a warm, friendly and caring nature.
Hayley is a brilliant childminder and her home has been like a second home for my children.
