My Summary

My Experience

I have over 12 years of hands-on experience working with children and supporting families through all stages of early childhood. My journey as a childminder began from a deeply personal place—wanting to be present for my own son while offering a caring, safe, and enriching environment for other children.

Over the years, I have welcomed children of various ages, backgrounds, and needs into my home-based setting, building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I have developed a solid understanding of child development, behaviour management, and early learning through both practical experience and continuous professional development.

I am a registered and fully certified integrated childminder, regulated by the Care Inspectorate, and I stay actively involved in the sector as a member of the Scottish Childminding Association (SCMA). I am also an Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) funded provider, delivering free government-funded nursery hours, and I serve as a Community Childminder, offering flexible support to families who need it most.

Throughout my career, I have consistently provided:
• A stable, home-from-home environment for children to feel safe and secure
• Tailored learning experiences aligned with Scotland’s Early Years Curriculum
• A strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing, communication, and social development
• Open, ongoing communication with parents and carers to ensure continuity of care

This experience has taught me that childminding is not just a job—it’s a meaningful partnership with families and a role that plays a vital part in each child’s early journey.
