My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Sue and I'm an Ofsted registered childminder living in Cippenham. I have paediatric first aid refresher course and Safeguarding course. I'm a member of Pacey (was NCMA) and have public liability insurance.
I collect children from Cippenham Nursery, Cippenham Infants and Cippenham Primary Schools.
I can often be found with my hands full of glue and paint making various creations, we often make creations with junk materials and follow a monthly planning guide. I follow the EYFS observations and do a range of activities, singing, dancing, story times, cooking, gardening, outdoor play, trips to the park and local soft play areas. I attend local toddler groups and the library story and song time groups.
I promote healthy eating and home cooked meals and snacks.
My Experience
I have 3 older children all girls so children have been around me forever!!
I have worked with children with special needs and loved every moment of it.
Children are very special to me, all different and can be very rewarding.
I like to do lots of things with the children, so we go to toddler groups or soft play most days or out on a day trip to the park.

Both my boys went to Sue when I returned off mat leave with my middle child. They both loved her and came away each day happy, well fed and eager to go back again the next day. In our area there are lots of childminders who stay at home a lot but Suzie is always out and about giving her kids lots of enrichment and engaging with other children. I noticed so much improvement in my boys and since moving away to another childminder I still see suzie on my days off. To actually look in on her with the children she currently minds, you can see that she is a naturally maternal woman who treats her kids like her own. She never shies away from getting down and playing with them and obviously loves her job.

My daughter has been going to Sue since September, but has settled in better than I could have imagined.
Going back to work after maternity leave is not easy, so finding someone who you/your child can feel reassured and at ease with is so important. Sue is friendly and welcoming and I knew straight away that she would be the perfect childminder for my daughter.
My daughter spends two days a week with Sue and she loves it. As soon as Sue opens the door in the mornings, my daughter will leap out of my arms and straight to Sue. She will then happily wave goodbye to me.
When I pick her up she is always giggling and happy.
Sue will keep a daily diary, which comes home with us every evening, all about her day i.e. what she's eaten, when she's napped, her mood, places they visit etc which I think is such a fab idea. She also keeps me updated with lots of photos of their day.
They also attend the local playgroup which my daughter loves now she's toddling about, where they will do lots of craft activities too.
Sue has a lovely home with a great range of toys to play with. I especially loved all the little touches that Sue has in her home i.e each child has their own coat peg and picture. These things really do not go unnoticed when searching for the right childcare setting.
If you are looking for a home from home, then I would highly recommend Sue.

I highly recommend Suzie. My son was 8 months when he started going to Suzie. Being my first child and so young I was a lot worried of sending him but once I started sending I saw my son coming home happy. It gave me such a piece of mind that my son enjoyed going to Suzie. Suzie is reliable, caring and fun. The children do lots of activities and go on trips. No words to express a Big THANK YOU for all you have done. 😊💐🍾

I highly recommend Suzie. My daughter went to Suzie for about 8 years and had a great experience. Suzie is reliable, caring and fun. The children do lots of activities and go on trips. It gave me such peace of mind to know that my daughter enjoyed going to Suzie's. My older daughters also went to Suzie's after school and in the holidays.
Thank you Suzie for being a great childminder!

Suzie is a great childminder. I strongly recommend Suzie’s services as she is very caring towards all her children she looks very.
My daughter used to go to Suzie and she absolutely loved it ! I really liked the fact that suzie takes the children to different soft plays, does a lot of outdoor activities, meets up with other child minders , always does creative activities. Suzie is always very flexible and was always willing to work with me if any changes needed to be made.
My daughter still talks about suzie and always wants to go and see her x

My child has now started nursery and they have said to me you can tell he has had an amazing childminder with his mannerisms and positive attitude to learning. They were amazed at how clever he is at 2 years old and it’s all thanks to Suzie! Suzie has looked after my LO since he was 9 months old (which was scary leaving him so young but the best decision made). Suzie has such a warm, nurturing presence and makes children and parents feel at ease. Her house is a home from home, with lots of learning, playing and nurturing equipment. She makes you feel like you are leaving your little one with family. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. We Love you Sue

Sue has been looking after my little girl Gracie since the age of 2.
I was always a paranoid mum that didnt want to leave my child with anyone but since meeting sue that has all changed. Sue makes you feel so comfortable, her home is always beautiful and clean and she really does care for the children.
Gracie absolutely loves it at suzies house. They often go out play groups and soft play and when at home sue always has some sort of fun activity planned for them. When it's time to collect Gracie she rarely wants to come home.
Amazing childminder!!!

I have two school age children that Suzie looks after. Suzie picks them up from School each day, takes them home and keeps them busy with activities until we collect. Suzie is very accommodating and will always try and help where she can. My children enjoy going to Suzie's house and they have made friends there.
What I am most impressed with is how she manages to keep children of all ages entertained. Whether its during term time or school holidays, she always has plenty of activities for them both in her house and trips that she will take them on. Both the children love bringing home things they have made as Suzie's and if she takes them out she will always send me pictures of their day so we can see what they have been up to.
