About Me

Hello, My name is Yvette Mears.
I am a NNEB Nursery nurse. I was awarded "OUTSTANDING" at my recent 2014 ofsted inspection. I have been registered as a childminder for over 25 years. I live in a detatched house with large garden in Coalbrookdale near Ironbridge, Telford with my Husband,my daughter (20) my son (27) we also have a cocker spaniel and a cockapoo .I am registered with Telford and Wrekin Family connect.

My Experience

After gaining my qualification as an NNEB nursery nurse, I became a daily nanny for 4 yrs until I married and set up my childminding business as a result of being asked by other families to care for their children too.
many of my families have been with me for many years as I have cared for each child as a new family member has been born. Many of these are now my God children which I am very proud of. My last family had been with me for 14 yrs from 3 months of age.

I also offer before and after school care from coalbrookdale school and also do the same at Madeley nursery (Bridle rd) for children attending the nursery morning session.

We spend our days visiting Mums & Toddler groups, Play barns, childminding groups and love to explore our local country side during our daily walks and visits to the parks as well as spending time at home, baking, doing craft activities and having fun

Wonderful Childminder

5 stars

Yvette has been looking after my 2.5 year old daughter for nearly 12months. Yvette has taken her under her wing and cared for her like I could only hope for, with a very warm and friendly manner and they have forged a wonderful friendship.
In the time that she is with Yvette, they visit toddler groups, play barns, go for walks, baking and lots of crafting (I often get surprised with lovely pictures and cards).
I often have to change the days or times that my daughter needs to be cared for (usually last minute) and Yvette is extremely flexible.
In short, Yvette is a wonderfully warm and friendly lady, with years of experience and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare

Amazing Lady

5 stars

Yvette offers a warm, very friendly, home from home environment where my 2 girls were immediately made to feel welcome and were included in what was going on. My eldest daughter often asks if she can go to "a-vet's house" and talks about the other children she met there. They are always upset to leave as they always have such a lovely time! Yvette has a lovely set up with a big garden. My children go to the park, play outside, are cooked hot well balanced meals & have been on a picnic walk around the fields & to Apley woods! Amazing childminder, will definitely keep going to Yvette & can easily recommend her to any parent. I am completely at ease whilst I work, knowing my children are being cared for by such a lovely lady. Thank you so much.
