My Summary
About Me
I live in Helensburgh and have 3 beautiful children (2 girls and a boy).
Before becoming a childminder, I worked for a nursery within West Dunbartonshire as a Team Leader, and after having my youngest child, 7 years ago, I decided to become a registered childminder.
I have my own playroom within my house, which is equipped with resources for every age and stage of your child’s development. The playroom leads out onto a large back garden, which the children have free flow access too throughout the day. My garden houses a variety of outdoor learning equipment and resources, to develop and engage children of all ages through their learning experiences.
* I am a partner provider with Argyll and Bute council, providing part time and full time ELC childcare to 3 and 4 year olds, as well as eligible 2 year old funding.

I take great pride in my work, and truly enjoy spending time with children, ensuring they are given every opportunity to thrive and develop within their own time.
