My Experience
Over the last 4 years I have been working with children as a registered nanny with Ofsted as part time in the school holidays before I later changed to a registered childminder in 2016 and have experience with children 2 months to 12 years old and over. Again, my main profession was teaching. I did my postgraduate course on – Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector in 2011. During this time, I worked in various adult colleges as a numeracy teacher. After 4 years of working with adults, I decided to pursue a career in working with children, as I have always wanted to spend more quality time with my children and help them by guiding them through their Early Years Stage by myself because I know that this stage is very crucial, especially in terms of the success or failure in areas of learning and development

My daughter was looked after by Abi and she was always looked after well and happy when with her.
She made lots of friends and learnt very important life lessons because of Abi.
Abi has always been professional and friendly and made sure that my daughter had her medicine for her epilepsy everyday and on time.
Couldn't of picked a better child carer.
Much appreciated.
