About Me

I provide funded childcare for 2, 3 & 4 year olds and non funded childcare for older children. I have been a registered childminder with Ofstead for 19 years.
I live withmy daughter who has recently returned from university, she is 21; my twin nephews aldo live with me, they are 12 year old boys.
We have a pet guineapig named Pickle ; we also have a budgie named Stormfly who flies free in the house during the day, some fish and a hamster. I have an enclosed back garden which the children can enjoy and is safe; I have lots of fun things in my garden for the children and we use it a lot. The front of my house is all grasssy so good for children to play, we try to get outside as often as possible, visiting parks, playgroups, soft play etc. I have a car, which i use for my job , unfortunately it's not a 7 seater but it certainly comes in handy for school runs and days out. My house is a home from home... not a nursery. I currently pick up from John F Kennedy Primary School and Barmston Village Primary school. My work hours are 8am - 5pm Monday to Friday but I try to be a bit flexible. I'm on FB & WhatsApp.

My Experience

I look after children from 3 months onwards and my hours are flexible, I will fit in with you if possible. I don't work weekends as that time is usually spent with family. I have 19 years experience and at the moment have children from the age of 2 - 8 before and after school and of course durng the day, i do nursery runs for some of my children. I do Barmston Primary School and John F Kennedy Primary School, I have vacancy's available to start immediately so feel free to get in touch me with your details and we can go from there. I'm on FB and WhatsApp.

My Qualifications

Of course i have my first aid and child protection certificates and am Ofsted registered just like the schools, as you can imagine i do my fair share of courses ranging from ADHD and Asthma awareness to Interacting with families and Child development. It is an ongoing process. I have just recently re-taken my paediatric first aid, I follow the EYFS just like the nurseries do
