My Summary
About Me
Out and about as much as possible, usually outdoor learning in the ancient woodland five mins walk away and often with other local childminders, then back to enjoy frequent messy play, or stay out for a pic-nic.
A happy and secure OFTED Outstanding rated setting where each child feels valued, and develops their EYFS goals through play and imagination. Through first hand understanding of the issues surrounding being a working parent I am flexible in my approach to childminding and work closely with parents, complimenting home life and routine.
Children enjoy frequent interaction with peers as we are out and about often in the woods/common, parks, library or Kenilworth castle.
I am an active member within my small Childminder network where children get to know a wider circle of friends, and become familiar with other Childminders I work closely with. This is especially helpful if we ever needed to cover for each other during holidays or if you need additional days.
I am a creative person and enjoy organising frequent Arts and Crafts activities for all ages of children but they have space for quiet time, music and reading also.
My Experience
We moved from a village near Bristol, to Kenilworth in July 2013 after my husband secured employment at an environmental consultancy and I have been Childminding ever since. We have three children (born 2004, 2007 and 2011).

My Availability
I offer full or part time places, including some school holidays. I work closely with other Childminders in my small network so they may cover holidays/emergencies/additional days.
