My Summary
About Me
*I am looking to retire shortly and therefore not taking on anymore children*
I have been happily married since 1987.
Having three children of my own, born in 1993, 1995 and 2000. I have been childminding all ages from 0-12 years in a happy caring home environment since 2004.
I provide healthy meals and snacks, together with drinks available throughout the day.
Children have access to a wide range of age suitable toys and games.
My large four bedroom house with a garden designed for play, is less than a mile walk (about 15 minutes) from Billericay Mainline Railway station and has free parking on the quiet residential road outside.
I provide a drop off and pick up service to Brightside Primary School and Gooseberry Green Pre-School.
I regularly attend Childminder Groups and other planned and informal activities, e.g. "Tiny trekkers" in Norsey Woods Billericay and "Splodgers" in Sunnyside Children's Centre, also in Billericay, all of which give opportunities for the children I look after to meet and to interract with and to play with other children.
During School holidays I plan day trips further afield, including to the seaside at Clacton or Southend, Tropical Wings and other local attractions.
I offer "settling in sessions" of up to two hours free of charge before contracts need to be signed, to ensure your child and you will be happy to use my services.

I had Joy looking after my 10 month old little boy for a month whilst family was away & I cannot recommend her enough.
She has a Lovely welcoming home with the perfect size garden & looks after lots of other children which was great for my Little one to have some play mates.
I will certainly be using her again when required! :)
