About Me

I have been childminding for 14 years and live in Bedminster with my husband and 15 year old son. Previously I worked as a Practice Nurse but retrained as a childminder in 2011.

We go to local playgroups, Rhymetime, The Farm, nearby parks and soft-play centres. As we live so close to North st and take full advantage of all the area has to offer including the odd theatre trip.

I am a member of the Bristol Childminder's Network. This means that I am able to access their CPD training programme and to share information.

I provide a warm, friendly home from home with plenty of age appropriate toys and equipment and a variety of outings. It is important that children feel safe and secure in their environment to be able to develop in all areas. I am committed to working with parents to acheive the best possible for their child.

My Experience

Since starting Childminding, 14 years ago, I look after 3 children at a time from 11 months to 3 years old. Parents have always been very happy with the care I provide and I offer written and verbal testimonials from previous and current families.
