About Me

Hello,

My name is Shala Duncan and I would like to welcome you to my Childminding Service. I am 28 years of age.

I have been working with children for over 10 years and have experience working with children up to the age of 12. From a young age, I have always known I wanted to work with children. I started when leaving school, studying for my NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and Education. Since then I have gained experience working in Nurseries, Pre-schools and Primary Schools. For the last 7 years I have worked in a Special Needs Primary School, where I met my Husband.

My recent adventure was having a baby of my own, Finley. Having to return to work myself, I understand what an emotional roller-coaster it can be finding the right person to look after your child so I feel it is important to provide a flexible approach to ensure the best possible childcare.

If you are looking for childcare or would like to find out more about what I offer please get in touch via email

Thank you

Shala
