About Me

Hello
I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder with over 28 years experience of working with children of all ages. I am married with 5 children and 5 grandchildren . Our youngest child is at school, 1 at college and Eldest three have left home. My husband works full time self employed while I do my childminding.
We are all fully CRB checked, I am fully registered with Ofsted and hold liability insurance.

Before becoming an Ofsted registered childminder in 2010 I worked as a nursery nurse for 12 years in a local nursery. I am a qualified nursery nurse by obtaining my NVQ level 2 and 3 in childcare also gained my health and social care in Edgehill University as well as completing half of my Children's Nursing degree which I had to put on hold as my youngest was poorly then I started Childminding and loved it that much I didn’t want to go back to University.

I have completed my paediatric first aid, safe guarding children and child protection awareness. I keep all of my training up to date and try to attend all new courses available to me which benefit the children in my care.

I am part of a local childminding group in which local childminders get together each week and share new ideas go on outings together, playgroups , visit local amenities such as parks, libraries farms etc.

I am also part of a community childminding group since Feb 2012 which helps children who require extra help and support. I have worked with children who have a variety of complex needs providing extra help and support for each individual child and their family through the week and at weekends.

I am also an accredited Childminder offering FREE childcare if you have a 2/3 or 4 year old using the Early Years Funding

As a mother myself, I fully understand and sympathise with parents about leaving our most precious little ones with others. I will work around each parents requirements and do settling in sessions to help ease these worries before your child starts my care. I will continue to work with parents to develop an open and supportive relationship.

My aim is to provide the best possible home to home care for your child within a happy, positive caring environment . I have a variety of toys and equipment for all ages. A large garden. I have a weekly menu and activity planner, providing a variety of activities for different aged children following the EYFS framework. Daily menu including breakfast,dinner and snacks throughout the day catering for each child's individual needs.

I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you have as a parent and happy for you and your child to visit even if it's just to look around.
