About Me

I'm married with children and grandchildren. My husband and I share our home with a small dog and five cats.

I offer a home from home environment with a nursery feel. I have good knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and how to implement it ensuring children reach their individual learning goals.

Children in my care have access to a spacious playroom and conservatory both equipped with toys and resources that compliment learning and development.
The playroom free-flows to an enclosed back garden and artificial grassed driveway.

Families are updated with relevant information in the form of day diaries, newsletters, emails and WhatsApp messages.

***Please note: I only care for children within the Early Years. Unfortunately I don't offer a wrap-around service for before and after school.

Ofsted inspection grade: GOOD

My Experience
