My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted outstanding childminder, having achieved outstanding ratings in all areas both in 2017 and 2023. As a qualified nursery nurse with over 30 years of experience in childcare, including five years as a nursery manager, I have a deep understanding of child development.
I am also a parent to two children, a 21-year-old and a 14-year-old, and we share our home with two friendly cats. Our spacious and bright home is filled with toys, books, and games, and is conveniently located near Dyke Road Park.
I provide a warm and loving environment that fosters learning and adventure. We engage in daily outings to drop-in centres, playgroups, parks, the library, and the beach, as well as visits to local farms and woodlands.
As a creative family, we enjoy music, arts, and crafts. I prepare fresh, healthy home-cooked meals and snacks for the children. My setting prioritises high quality with low ratios to ensure personalised attention for each family.
Whenever possible, I use eco-friendly resources and strive to reduce our use of plastics.
