My Summary

Taking Enquiries For 2025.

My Experience

I am a registered childminder and open for bookings.

I have around 18 years experience working in Early Years (up to 8 yrs old) and some experience of working with older children. My 11 nieces and nephews are aged between 0 and 25 years old, so I feel they definitely contribute to my experience too!

I have studied throughout most of my career and graduated with a Ba Hons in Early Years. Having studied this through Open University alongside working a full time job, I prove to myself that I am self motivated and dedicated to achieve the best I can in a field relevant to my role.

I have been childminding for around 2 years. Your children would be welcomed into my home environment and cared for in a very nurturing way. I have everything to offer a child between 0 and 5 years, from sensory toys for babies, to puzzles, crafts, small world play for the older children.

We are fortunate to have a great garden space which the children would access on a daily basis. With opportunities to climb, bounce, ride a bike and kick a ball, they have the space to move freely in this very secure environment.

I am self-employed so would be very open to discuss this provision with you and how it could work practically and financially for us both, down to details such as providing a car seat and meals or snacks. This would be a very personal arrangement to suit your needs and what would work for your family.
