My Summary
About Me
My name is Corinne and I am a registered OFSTED childminder with a Good (level 2) rating as of February 2024.
I live a short ten minute walk from the centre of Chichester and about the same distance to St Richards Hospital. I live with my partner, 13 year old daughter and two friendly pedigree house cats.
My passion is cooking from fresh ingredients and think it is extremely important to pass this onto children and teach them how to make healthy food choices. I do love being outside and keeping active so you can be sure no day is the same with your little one!
I spend each day out and about going to one of the play parks in Chichester, grab the bus to West Dean gardens or the beach, visiting one of the many toddler groups in Chichester. We aim to spend the morning out but I do like to create an activity in the afternoon such as the park, a lovely walk or simply free play with the toys in my setting.
As of October 2022 I was granted a Level 5 Hygiene Rating.
My Experience
I have new born experience, toddler experience, pre school experience and school age experience. I used to co run a toddler group on a Wednesday morning at The Prebendal School along West Street.
I also have experience with children who have physical disabilities, my nephew has CP and have cared for him on numerous occasions.

My little girl absolutely loves coming to Corinne and everything she offers. Every time I pick her up she tells me what an amazing day she’s had, all the yummy stuff she’s eaten and stuff she has done and learned. During the day I also get updates off how the day is going and what she’s had to eat which helps me to get on with my day at work. Corinne is always there to help no matter what and during the drop offs and pick ups you are able to see the amazing bond she has with the children. For example my little girl always runs back to her for a hug and a high five which shows how much she has bonded with Corinne. I honestly don’t think I’d trust anyone else with my little girl and we are very lucky we have found such an amazing childminder!

Corinne is an absolute star - kind, caring, diligent and fun, my daughter loves going to Corinne’s, and most importantly, I know that she is being well cared for. Lots of outings, play dates and activities, with nutritious meals and snacks, I couldn’t ask for more.

Mylah was so happy the day she came into Corinne’s home. She welcomed us both and mylah is always full of smiles when dropping off for the day.
She is always offered a health diet with healthy snacks and has lots of days out. I am always updates about everything through the day and get photos, which I love.

Corinne has looked after our two children for over two years and she is absolutely AMAZING. She goes above and beyond to make our children feel happy and cared for, takes a genuine, active interest in their lives and development, fills their days with fun - always getting out and about and is understandably adored by them both!
She is just brilliant at her job - professional and knowledgeable as well as kind and caring. She cooks them lovely meals and somehow manages the impossible by getting my son to eat vegetables !! I have absolute confidence in her. It is a huge weight off my mind to be able to go to work and know that my children are being looked after so well. She is an excellent communicator - updating us regularly throughout the day and helping us out by liaising with the children's school/nursery staff.
The hours that my husband and I both work at the hospital can often be erratic and change at short notice yet we have been able to constantly depend on Corinne. She really supports us as a family and we feel incredibly lucky. Cannot recommend her enough! She's fantastic!

Corinne has made my work life so easy, she is flexible and nothing is too much trouble. My little girl settled in so well from 9 months old she is now 19 months and drop offs have always been easy even after a 4 month break due to lockdown she eased straight back in. I am updated throughout the day on their activities, adventures, learning and her nutritious lunch. I love that each week is different, toddler groups, bus rides, park or activities every day is different.
Corinne has a kind manner, passion for home cooked nutritious food and my daughters learning/development is always considered. I couldn't be happier i found Corinne as my childminder and I highly recommend her.
