My Summary
About Me
I am married with 2 adult daughters and have been a registered childminder since 1996. In March 2018, I was awarded an 'Outstanding' outcome by Ofsted for the third time.
During the school term time, the Early Years children in our care benefit from a range of outings and experiences - they enjoy visiting them farm, local playgroups and Children's Centre, a Music Workshop and much more.
We take the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors whenever possible using our well maintained garden, on the beautiful heath, on visits to the beach, Upton Country Park, the local SANG etc.
The older children that join us after school enjoy selecting from a wide range of resources, games and craft materials for indoor and outdoor fun!
In the school holidays, we head a little further afield too - Moors Valley and Avon Heath are children's favourite outings. We take picnic lunches so the children enjoy the whole day at their pace.
Schools we are able to collect from include Canford Heath 1st and Middle Schools and Ad Astra schools.
References from parents currently using our setting are on the site and others are available to see when you visit if you wish.
Feel free to contact me for a chat even if at this stage you just want to find out more about what childminders can offer.
My Experience
I have been childminding since 1997 and in 2008 my husband joined me. He enjoyed it so much, he registered in March 2010 and our setting became 'PAIR 2 CARE',
We aim to provide children in our care with the opportunity to develop at their own pace, to feel valued and secure, and to develop positive self esteem and confidence in themselves and others. We provide a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment with quality play experiences.

My partner and I were concerned about finding a childcare provider we trusted as we’re not from the area and didn’t know anyone. We found Becky via this website and can’t believe how lucky we are to have found Pair2Care. Becky, Dave, Rachel and Emily have become like an extended family to Thea. The quality of support they provide is exceptional, and Thea came on leaps and bounds with them. They really do go above and beyond a normal childcare provider, constantly wowing us parents with the projects they’ve come up with. Anyone looking for a childminder would be extremely lucky to have them as a provider, really would recommend without hesitation.

My daughter has been going to Becky and Dave for awhile. They are really caring people and my daughter has loved being with them. They are always busy doing great fun things. My daughter has enjoyed every minute being with them. She has blossomed in their care. And I'm sad that she is leaving them. Would definitely recommend them.
Thankyou all x

We were lucky enough to get a space with Becky and Dave, having no idea what we were doing when looking for childcare. We met with two different childcare providers and straight away we knew we didn't want to see anyone else after visiting Becky and Dave's home. Not only are they genuine and kind people, but what really hit home is they have designed their home specifically for kids. Each room is thoughfully designed with toys, gadgets and information for children.
Our little boy was 7 months old when I returned to work and it has been a breeze returning as at no point have I ever worried about him. I am so confident in the quality of care he is getting and he has developed leaps and bounds from attending...I hate to say far more than if he had stayed at home with me. The relationships that all the kids have there are the sweetest thing. It is like one big family and he loves seeing all his friends, including the bigger kids who join them after school. His language skills, social skills and physical skills have all benefitted massively from being with others.
For me I love that fact they go out and do something every day, which you would not get from a nursery. All the activities are great and they are ofthen themed. He has also brought home numerous pieces of arts and crafts-something I am very grateful for as it is my least favoutite thing to do!
Throw in all the presonal touches such as yummy snacks, birthday cards, and being flexible over jiggling hours and I really couldn't ask for anything more. I have had no other experience so can't compare, however I don't see how it can get any better than this....especially as you get 3 people caring for your little one instead of just one. I highly reccommend pair 2 care and my little man is super amazing thanks to all their hard work.

Thank you so much Rosie and Martyn. We love looking after your super amazing little boy!
As first time parents we had no idea where to begin with childcare, after coming across 'Pair 2 Care' Becky and Dave made us feel relaxed and no question was to silly! Elsie has been going for nearly 2 years and has come on in leaps and bounds. Becky and Dave a are so loving and kind Elsie can't wait to get through the door! Elsie has enjoyed many days out and making lots of new friends while being in their care. We simply couldn't recomend anyone else to look after our daughter.

Thank you so much Stacey and Scott.
Becky and Dave have been looking after Emma for 6 years. They are extremely kind, caring, reliable, flexible. It has always been a great feeling knowing that Emma was in the safest and most caring hands whilst I was at work.
They are constantly working towards the children social, emotional , cognitive development and stimulating their curiosity . Emma is always delighted about all the great outings Becky and Dave are taking her such as beach, farms, play areas, parks,etc...
Emma is now 8 and I can positively say that Becky and Dave ( as well as their fantastic 2 daughters) have played a part in her becoming such an amazing little girl.
