My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Phillipa,
I am a fully qualified childminder; I can offer childcare for current government funded places for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. I am qualified to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) from birth to five years.
I live in Linthorpe with my Husband and 2 fantastic children. My son is 11 years old and my daughter is 4 years old.
I am a very reliable childminder and ensure i provide a positive and safe enviroment for the children to learn, grow and play. I have a spacious 5 bedroom house, with a playroom just for the children i provide childcare for. My outdoor area is large but safe and lot's of fun for the children with outdoor activities including a climbing frame, trampoline, slides and much much more!
I am a very hands on provider and like to make the children feel at home just as much as my own children do! I am fun loving, outgoing and like to make the children feel comfortable and content.
I offer amazing childcare for all children aged from birth and upwards.
I plan regular outdoor activities and outings which include; trips to local parks, playgroups, toddler/baby groups, farms, ect.
I attend a sign language class with the children once a week, every week.
I work alongside local nurseries to ensure the transitions between my setting and nursery/school runs perfectly.
My catchment school is Green Lane however I can be flexible for nursery pick ups and drop offs.
I have spaces available for childcare.
My Experience
As a parent i have 11 years experience however I have 25 years experience working with children providing childcare which i have loved every minute of spending time with the children and helping them learn and grow.
I have been a Ofsted registered childminder for 11 years.
Previous to becoming a childminder i was a private nanny for 14 years which i thoroughly enjoyed.
I worked for lovely families with gorgeous children from new born to 9 years.
As part of my job as a nanny i travelled many places across the world with the children experiencing different cultures and beliefs. I have had opportunities to swim with many sea life creatures. We visited wildlife safari parks and had the opportunity to explore amazing countries.

Phillipa is such a warm and friendly childminder, both my kids clicked with her straight away. She is so much fun and always on the go. She genuinely cares for all the kids she has, this is obvious from the first time you meet her. I would highly recommend her services; as she makes things so easy and you can relax knowing the kids are having fun and are been cared for. We LOVE “fraprarrh” as my little boy used to call her! X

Phillipa has been my childminder for 7 years and has looked after both of my daughters. Her home is a clean, relaxed and welcoming setting with a dedicated play room and lovely outside space. My girls have always loved going to Phillipa's and often don't want to leave!
Phillipa and her team are always taking the children out to farms, parks and play sessions and when at home, they engage in fun and creative play and the children often bring home things they have made including Mother's day cards and Christmas decorations and biscuits.
I would not hesitate to recommend Phillipa as a childminder and continue to use her for holiday care.

We found Phillipa through this website after searching for a new childcare provider for our 5 year old son, after his previous day nursery let us down. We were very apprehensive but we were put at ease straight away, after messaging, contacting via phone and then arranging a meet up. We were struggling to find a child minder who would suit our needs due to odd hours due to work/university arrangements, but Phillipa was very accommodating to what we needed.
Right from the beginning, our son loved going to Phillipa's and was very excited to go and always said he wanted to go every day!
We felt like he was made to feel like one of her own and he fitted in straight away with all the other boys and girls.
Due to a change of work commitments, we no longer needed to utilise Phillipa's childcare, but should the situation change, we wouldn't hesitate in a heartbeat to have Phillipa look after our son again.
We would fully recommend Phillipa to anyone looking for childcare in the area. You will be accepted into a loving and friendly environment.

I used Phillipa when returning to work after having my second child. My previous childminder, who had cared for other family members too, had retired and I was very nervous about finding someone else. There were big shoes to fill. I found Phillipa through a strong recommendation.
Phillipa is fabulous and at times became my second right hand. She is flexible, understanding, extremely professional and incredibly warm. She got my bland food loving children to eat healthy and exciting dishes. She helped and fully encouraged my daughters potty training. She taught my children to sing and sign. I would be here all day if I were to explain everything. She is my go to Childminder.

Phillipa is an amazing childminder and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. When I initially put my eldest into childcare with another childminder he was very anxious and upset so I changed to Phillipa when he was 1. The difference in him was amazing! She was so encouraging that he became much more confident and outgoing and has now grown into a very lively and outspoken five year old! My youngest is now nearly three and he has also grown in confidence since being with Phillipa. It is really reassuring to know that when they go to Phillipa's it's like an extension of my care as she looks after them and loves them as if they were her own. Phillipa regularly takes the boys to toddler groups, soft play or sing and sign so they always have something to tell me about or show me when I go to pick them up. Phillipa has a lovely, welcoming family home and both Phillipa and Alana are always happy to discuss the boys progress or support me and my family in any way they can.
