About Me

I have been a Registered Childminder since 1992 and have 2 adult daughters.

I am responsible for the education programme to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage. I assess children and plan next steps of their learning.

We have sand, water play, a wide range of toys, natural resources to make a fun and learning experience.

I do lots of training during evenings and weekends to ensure I keep up to date with the legal side of childminding and to learn new things that I can use in my setting.

My Experience

I have many years experience childminding. Some experience with SEN.

Children flourish in a setting that received the highest possible rating in all areas of assessment. Strong relationships foster confidence and independence, while a tailored curriculum supports effective learning, particularly in language and mathematics. Children display exceptional behavior, managing their feelings and sharing well. Parents appreciate the excellent care, and partnerships with other settings ensure continuity of experience. The childminder's commitment to ongoing training maintains high standards.

Fantastic childminder!

5 stars

Kay has been a childminder for years, and as my daughter was only 1 when I first started looking for childcare, I was quite apprehensive about leaving her. However, Kay has been brilliant in not only reassuring me about leaving her from a young age, but also making lilly feel like she was part of her family. Kay has brought lilly on so much over the 3 years that she has been with her, through creative play and a wide variety of toys and resources. I would not hesitate to use Kay again if needed, and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a kind, friendly and flexible childminder. A personal recommendation from Lilly.. Kay does fun things and makes yummy dinners!
